"Dresden's C.C. Meinhold & Sons printing house wants you
to know that their stone and zinc lithographic presses use the most
up-to-date technology available. But instead of shouting it out in
a block of text, they take a more dignified approach: by placing a
freshly pressed design called "The Modern Poster" in the
hands of the printer and, we assume, a discerning client, the graphic
point reads loud and clear, in the process creates a wonderful poster-within-poster
design. Behrens was something of an artistic jack-of-all-traders,
portraits, decorative works, book jackets, humorous vignettes and,
of course, posters".
(Rennert, XXX, 399)
Behrens was a late 19th century German painter and graphic artist.
He is listed in Davenports and Benezit. He studied in Berlin at the
School of Art then went on to work as a decorator in Vienna.
