An Original Vintage Unfolded German "A0" Poster (33x47; measures 33" x 47 1/4" [84 x 120 cm]) (Learn More) Tehaner Ball (literally translates to "Student Ball"), the 1934 German poster promoting a ball which took place at the Regina Palast Hotel in Munich, Germany on January 31st, and featuring wild art by K. Leiss. 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 ball, 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 ball!). 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. Artist: K. Leiss 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 this German A0 poster measures 33" x 47 1/4" [84 x 120 cm]. Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It had a vertical crease in the bottom 15" of the poster, mostly in the black background area, and slightly entering the letters at the bottom, and some other light creases scattered in the poster, with a few scuffs in the solid black areas. It had a piece of tape on the back of the bottom border, and two pieces in the upper left border which bled through to the front, and one of the pieces of tape in the left border is missing, so the tear in that area is separated again. Someone put some tape on the back of the entire right border where there had been a few small tears, and that tape has bled through to the front, but only in the blank border.
