Found the excellent book "
Gold Gab Ich Für Eisen - Kriegsplakate 1914 - 1918" many years ago, a steal for just a few german Marks.
Many years later, I was offered a very famous imperial german poster by the graphic artist
Fritz Erler.
Helft uns siegen! https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helft_uns_siegen
The poster came from a private collection of an elderly lady from the city of
Oldenburg, the lady collected in the 1960s, and the early 1970s posters from the communist German movement, including today extremely rare posters of the
DKP, the now banned "German Communist Party".
The bundle included the above poster by the graphic artist
Erler, in perfect condition, as if fresh from a print shop.
The price for this convolute at that time was very small, something more like pocket money.
At that time, I had trouble getting this thick roll of old posters into my car, unfortunately, those days are gone, forever.
At that time, there was only a small circle of interested people and collectors on this subject, the old "material" was, so to speak, at one's own feet, one only had to pick it up...
Collectors greetings!
Hans
* No, the above poster is not for sale, there is no need to ask.
