Lot 92: PAUL NEUENBORN (1866-1913) AUSSTELLUNG DAS TIER IN DER KUNST KUNSTVEREIN MUNCHEN. 1905.

38x27 1/2 inches. Münchener Graph. Velisch.
Condition B+: restored losses in margins and image; repaired tears and overpainting in margins; horizontal fold.
Neuenborn, a painter and illustrator who specialized in animals, was a member of the Society of Illustrators and, briefly, of the Werkbund. In this rare poster he not only shows his talent for drawing animals (pelicans, specifically) but also his sense of composition and layout. The image is carefully framed within the border and puts two darkly-colored detailed birds in the foreground and a diagonal line of much lighter birds in the background. The large amount of text is clearly organized at the bottom making for a well designed and well balanced poster. DFP III 2352.
