An Unfolded German Travel Poster (measures 33" x 47 1/4" [84 x 120 cm]) (Learn More) The Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft (HAPAG for short and referred to in English as Hamburg America Line or Hamburg-American Line) was a transatlantic shipping enterprise established in Hamburg, Germany in 1847. It soon developed into the largest German (and at times the world's largest) shipping company, serving the market created by the German immigration to the United States and later immigration from Eastern Europe. In 1970, after 123 years of independent existence, HAPAG merged with the Bremen-based North German Lloyd to form Hapag-Lloyd AG. Artist: Ottomar Anton Important Added Info: Note that this poster is extremely rare. We have never auctioned it before! Note that this poster is promoting trips to North America via the Panama Canal (which only took 27 days). Also, Ottomar Anton was a German painter, graphic artist and university professor from the 1920s to the 1970s. He designed many travel posters (he was the most prolific German shipping poster artist in the 1920s and 1930s). He joined the SS in 1936 and created World War II (WWII) Nazi propaganda art. He was incarcerated after the war, but later became a sought after graphic designer again. Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It has tape on the back of the right edge of the poster that has darkened the front, but fortunately, it only affects the solid orange area. Otherwise, the poster is in really nice condition, especially considering its age! Learn More about condition grades
