A Linenbacked German Special Poster (measures 33 3/4" x 47 1/2" [86 x 121 cm]) (Learn More) Hexensabbat (literally translates to "Witches' Sabbath"), the 1930s German annual art festival featuring works by local artists. Note that this poster features wild art by Roman Feldmeyer. Note that this series of carnivals (one was held annually in Munich) was a uniquely German phenomenon that began in the 1400s. It involved Pagan rituals and many of the early participants were strongly anti-Semitic, portraying Jews as Devil worshipers. The festivals continued over the centuries and when Adolf Hitler became the leader of Germany, he banned all expressionist and "modern" art as "decadent", but oddly, he allowed the Hexensabbat carnivals, and the posters created for them, to continue (perhaps this related to the years he lived in Munich as a young man, including when he was in prison near the city, when he wrote "Mein Kampf", and perhaps he did not have a philosophical difference with the Hexensabbat)! There were posters created for many of these festivals, but they are extremely rare! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had a scuff mark in the background at the end of one of the candles at upper center. It had a tear and a tape stain in the bottom right corner of the image and a 3" tear and a small tape stain above it in the lower left border. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
