This arrived in a tattered old geography school book. The little hand drawn gem you see here appears to be a student assignment, hand drawn with compass and pen.
The Deutsche Werkbund propagated functional design and was clearly against useless decorative elements. Why then is all text on this poster underscored? Not only it is useless, it is even counter-productive because underscoring undermines the visibility of descenders, thus causing poor legibility.
In the mid-20th century, Kentucky-born Paul Twitchell evidently cribbed and plagiarized any number of mimeographed texts full of spiritual hokum, pasted it all together, published it, and — shazam! — he had himself a new “ancient” religion, which he infelicitously named Eckankar.
Evidently the religion (which was set up as a corporation in California) was going gangbusters there for a while, because, well, look, they had book marks, which they labeled as such, presumably for the rather less sophisticated among the flock. Twitchell and his successor, Darwin Gross, gave themselves the honorific “Sri,” which is IRS backwards.
Twitchell died sometime in the early 1970s. If I remember correctly, after three weeks of an all-pineapple diet, his tongue developed eckankar sores* that got infected, leading to sepsis. Or something like that.
*Apologies for my terrible, labored pun. According to the internet, Twitchell died from a heart attECK.
