Die "Steglitzer Werkstatt" : The "Steglitz Workshop" : Initals and typesetting by F. H. Ehmcke : in : Das Plakat : April 1920 : Verlag das Plakat : Berlin : 1920

From an article, in a series on "Pioneers of German Poster Art", entitled the The "Steglitz Workshop" : Die "Steglitzer Werkstatt" that appears in the April 1920 issue of the German graphic deisgn magazine "Das Plakat". The Workshop, in the Berlin suburb of Steglitz, had its origins in 1900 and was formed by Fritz Helmuth Ehmcke, Friedrich Wilhelm Kleukens and Georg Belwe. Despite the three artists and teachers only working together for between three and six years, before moving on to new posts and positions, the Steglitzer is regarded as one of the most important elements of the Buchkunstbewegung - the German Book Art movement of the early Twentieth Century.

 

This leaflet, originally from 1902, was designed and set out by Fritz Helmuth Ehmcke (1878 - 1965), an important figure in German graphic design and typography.
