A Paperbacked German Special Poster (measures 24 1/4" x 35 3/4" [62 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Benz Concerte (literally translates to "Benz Concert"), the 1907 German advertising poster promoting a musical event which was held at the Caffe Leopold in Munich, Germany. The Leopold restaurant was opened in 1899 and featured black chairs with red upholstery, red columns with golden capitals, and other lavish furnishings designed by the architects Helbig and Haiger. Ignatius Taschner created sculptures and artwork such as "The front ceiling contains an apotheosis of art 'Athena on a throne, behind her the sea and the rising sun'". The Cabaret Benz, which was founded by Josef Benz in 1900, is part of the same building and contributed to Leopold's fame. Benz, originally an opera tenor and active as such in Colmar, Regensburg, Hanover and Hamburg, came to the operetta in Munich at the Theater am Gartnerplatz in 1899 and made his debut there as a "Gypsy Baron". In 1900, however, he retired from the stage and founded the Cabaret Benz. Artist: Georges Rogier Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking?

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had small tears in the top center, in the left and right of the man's hair, and in the background above, with some pretty minor wear around the edges.
