An Original Vintage Unfolded German "A0" Poster (33x47; measures 33" x 47 1/4" [84 x 120 cm]) (Learn More) Das Gluckhafte Schiff (literally translates to "The Lucky Ship"), the 1936 German poster promoting an event that was held at the Vier Jahreszeiten in Munich, Germany from February 21st to the 24th, and featuring art of a woman wearing a beret and scarf saluting, with a ship in the background. It is interesting to note that when Adolf Hitler became the leader of Germany, he banned all expressionist and "modern" art as "decadent", but oddly, he allowed this sort of event, and the posters created for them, to continue (perhaps it was related to it taking place in Munich, and perhaps he had fond years of living in Munich as a young man, including when he was in prison near the city, when he wrote "Mein Kampf", and perhaps he did not have a philosophical difference with this kind of event!). If anyone knows more about this event, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is one of a remarkable collection of 46 pre-World War II German posters that we were consigned (and we are auctioning them in 46 separate auctions). They date from the 1880s to the late 1930s, but most are from the 1920s and 1930s. Posters from this time period are extremely scarce, due to the massive paper shortages in Germany during World War II. Many of these posters are for specific events that were held, and naturally, those posters would figure to be even more rare, since they could only have been used prior to the date of the event. This is a rare opportunity to purchase these extremely rare posters! Also note that the poster has an artist's signature on it, but we cannot read it. If anyone knows the name of this artist, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this German A0 poster measures 33" x 47 1/4" [84 x 120 cm]. Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. It has a few tiny tears in the borders. It has tiny numbers written in the bottom of the "C" at the bottom left of the poster. Someone put some tape on the back of the entire right border where there had been a few small tears, and that tape has only slightly bled through to the front. Overall, it has likely survived in about as nice condition as one could hope, with a poster of this age and size! Learn More about condition grades
