Translation: "Exhibition of Saxon artisanry and commercial
art, Dresden, 1896, The Old City"
View the sister piece for this
poster.
"While the poster flourished in France, Germany was still ignorant
of it's elementary rules; advertisements were only dreary enlargements
of art-school productions, resolutely historical, in the purest style
of Bavarian renaissance…The first poster worthy of the name did
not appear until 1896 for an exposition in Dresden: Die Alte Stadt
(The Old City) by Otto Fischer. For the first time the design is graphic,
the colours vivid, the lettering skillfully distributed. This vision
of a woman in regional costume in the foreground, with the old town
in the background, broke completely with the usual allegories"
(Weill p.95)
