A Linenbacked Original Vintage German Book Page (measures 8 3/4" x 12" [22 x 30 cm]) (Learn More) Ludwig Hohlwein was a German artist from the 1890s to the 1940s. He is one of the best known German poster artists (though his reputation suffered because of his work with the Nazis)! Initially an architect student who illustrated for newspapers, he went on to design book decorations, booklets, and advertising posters. He joined the Nazi Regime in 1933 after refusing an offer to emigrate to the United States, and created government program posters as well as advertisements for the 1936 Munich Olympics. Poster historian Alain Weill says "Hohlwein was the most prolific and brilliant German posterist of the 20th century. Beginning with his first efforts, Hohlwein found his style with disconcerting facility. It would vary little for the next forty years. The drawing was perfect from the start, nothing seemed alien to him, and in any case, nothing posed a problem for him. His figures are full of touches of color and a play of light and shade that brings them out of their background and gives them substance". He passed away in 1949 at the age of 75. Artist: Ludwig Hohlwein Important Added Info: Note that normally, we would send linenbacked items rolled in a tube, but because this item is very small, and because rolling it might caused it to have creases, we intend to send it in a small flat package instead (however, if the purchaser of this item also purchases other linen items, and absolutely wants us to send it rolled with those other linens, we will do so). Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The book page was removed from a book and linenbacked. Overall, the book page was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the book page "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
