An Unfolded German Travel Poster (measures 33" x 47 1/4" [84 x 120 cm]) (Learn More) The Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft (HAPAG for short and referred to in English as Hamburg America Line or Hamburg-American Line) was a transatlantic shipping enterprise established in Hamburg, Germany in 1847. It soon developed into the largest German (and at times the world's largest) shipping company, serving the market created by the German immigration to the United States and later immigration from Eastern Europe. In 1970, after 123 years of independent existence, HAPAG merged with the Bremen-based North German Lloyd to form Hapag-Lloyd AG. Artist: Ottomar Anton Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this German travel poster, and it has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example of this poster we have ever auctioned! Note that this poster features art of three women with a cruise ship in the background. Ottomar Anton was a German painter, graphic artist and university professor from the 1920s to the 1970s. He designed many travel posters (he was the most prolific German shipping poster artist in the 1920s and 1930s). He joined the SS in 1936 and created World War II (WWII) Nazi propaganda art. He was incarcerated after the war, but later became a sought after graphic designer again. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has tape on the back of the right border and that tape has bled through to the front and there is a small tape stain in the lower left edge. Despite these few border defects the poster is otherwise in really nice condition, especially considering its age! Learn More about condition grades
