Electrification didn't make it into German homes in a big way until the 1920s. Whereas only about 5% of Berlin's homes boasted electric power in 1914, this figure had risen to 25% eleven years later and to 50% by the end of the decade. Artist: N 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?
