Advert issued by Orenstein & Koppel A.G., Berlin : in : Gebrauchsgraphik : Jahrg. 1 - Heft Nr. 1 : Industrie - Reklame : Edit : Dr. H.K. Frenzel : Phönix Druck und Verlags G.M.B.H. : Berlin SW68 : Deutschland : 1924
An advert issued by the Berlin based engineering concern of Orenstein und Koppel A.G. for their "Selbstentlader" - discharge wagons for "For all types of bulk goods" and "For every size and load capacity". The advert is designed by Tóth-Molnár of Berlin and printed here by Meissner & Buch of Leipzig and Berlin.
O. & K. were a major German engineering company formed in 1876 and who expanded from mechanical engineering manufacturing into rail vehicles. In the Nazi era the company was forcibly aryanised and in post-war years the company's plants and activities found themselves split between East Germany, where assets were nationalised, and West Germany where the company resumed operations in 1949. In later years the railway side of the business was dominant along with products such as escalators. The company was split up and sold latterly under the ownership of Krupp and the name vanished in 1999.
The artist/designer is Hungarian born Ferenc Toth-Molnár (1867 - 1936) who latterly lived and worked in Berlin.
