An Original Vintage Unfolded German "A0" Poster (33x47; measures 33 1/4" x 47 1/4" [84 x 120 cm]) (Learn More) Zirkus Schwabylon (literally translates to "Circus Schwabylon", a combination of Schwabingen and Babylon), the 1937 German poster promoting an event to take place from February 3rd to the 9th at the Schwabinger Brewery in Munich, Germany. Note that this poster features art of circus performers by Hans Riedl. Note that the art on this poster is very surprising, because it clearly fits Hitler's definition of "degenerate" and "decadent" art, and yet, it was allowed to be displayed at a time when almost no other similar art was. We don't know why an exception was made for this circus poster. If anyone knows more about this, tplease e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Hans Riedl 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 1/4" x 47 1/4" [84 x 120 cm]. Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It has uneven darkening in the top border. Someone put a thin white tape on the back of the top border, no doubt to attach it to a mat. But overall, the poster has survived in pretty nice condition!
