HANS RUDI ERDT (1883-1918) ROTKAPPCHEN.
1912.
Hollerbaum & Schmidt, Berlin.
261/2x361/2 inches.
- Notes: Hans Rudi Erdt was one of the most prolific poster artists in Berlin at the beginning of the 20th century. He worked with the "dream team" at the printer Hollerbaum & Schmidt, which consisted of Lucian Bernhardt, Julius Klinger and Julius Gipkens. He produced posters for a wide variety of clients, and his designs, punctuated by flat colors and strong outlines, reflect his talent as a draftsman, along with a great sense of stylization and a flair for layout. He regularly worked for the wine industry and this efficient poster is a visual pun on the brand name "red cap." The unmistakable bottles, packaged in their "red caps" are being enjoyed by an elegant and charming woman who is also wearing a red cap. DFP III 821, Wember p. 218 no. 277.
- Condition: Condition B+: paper loss in top right corner; vertical and horizontal folds. Framed.
