Germany : tourist folder issued by the Reichsbahnzentral für den Deutsches Reiseverkehr ; Berlin ; nd [c.1930] : artwork by Ludwig Hohlwein
One of the many issues of the brochure "Come to Germany" produced during the inter-war period and this, the English language version, appears to have been issued in c.1930 by the Reichsbahnzentral für den Deutsches Reiseverkehr/German Railways Publicity Office in Berlin.
The striking artwork is by the noted poster artist Ludwig Hohlwein (1874 - 1949) who is credited with the introduction of a highly distinctive and personal style when he became a full time designer in 1912 and that was to influence poster design worldwide. He became closely associated with the National Socialist movement during the dictatorship of 1933 - 1945.
