F. K. D. FRANKFURTER INTERNATIONALE MESSE. 1921.
29 3/4x19 3/8 inches. Offsetdruck Heller & Co., Frankfurt.
Condition A-: minor teras and losses in top margin. Japan.
One of the oldest trade fairs in Europe, the Frankfurter Messe has been held since at least the 12th century; and (in July of 1240) an imperial edict was passed by Emperor Frederick II, naming Frankfurt the world's first trade fair city. The allure of the fair is strongly indicated here as arriving travelers are spilling onto the train platform and rushing to get to the fairgrounds, represented by the logo floating in the air at the end of the platform. A vivid illustration, effectively using perspective to add tremendous movement.
