"Japanese Girl" showcard, c1925 : issued by Chr. Hostmann-Steinberg, Celle, Hannover, Germany : designer Jan Schmidt

A rather fine example of the use of gold and silver bronze metallic inks manufactured by the German company of Chr. Hostmann-Steinberg at Celle, Hannover, c1925. The 'Japanese Girl' plate was designed by Jan Schmidt. As you can see the bronze/'Rich Gold' has taken on the impression of the text from the opposite page - the silver/aluminium has proved more stable.

 

The advert includes the agents or representatives of the company in the UK based in both London and Manchester.
