When Hohlwein received the official commission to design the poster for Germany''s participation in the 1910 Brussels World''s Fair, he stuck with a very academic artistic inspiration. The straightforward image of a naked man astride a horse is executed in Hohlwein''s singular style with the unexpected additional flourish of the Brussels skyline, laid out across the bottom of the poster. Hohlwein 120, DFP III 1363, Wember 416.
