An Original Vintage Unfolded German "A0" Poster (33x47; measures 33" x 48 1/2" [84 x 123 cm]) (Learn More) Arche Noah Ahoi (literally translates to "Noah's Ark Ahoy"), the 1935 German poster promoting a costume party (apparently where the participants dressed as animals!) to take place on January 26th at the Deutschen Theater in Munich, Germany. Note that this poster features wild art of a man in a giraffe costume by Keimel. It is interesting to note that when Adolf Hitler became the leader of Germany, he banned all expressionist and "modern" art as "decadent", but oddly, he allowed this sort of party, and the posters created for them, to continue (perhaps it was related to it taking place in Munich, and perhaps he had fond years of living 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 this kind of party!).

Artist: Keimel Important Added Info: Note that this poster is one of a remarkable collection of 46 pre-World War II German posters that we were consigned (and we are auctioning them in 46 separate auctions). They date from the 1880s to the late 1930s, but most are from the 1920s and 1930s. Posters from this time period are extremely scarce, due to the massive paper shortages in Germany during World War II. Many of these posters are for specific events that were held, and naturally, those posters would figure to be even more rare, since they could only have been used prior to the date of the event. This is a rare opportunity to purchase these extremely rare posters! Also note that this German A0 poster measures 33" x 48 1/2" [84 x 123 cm]. Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It had a piece of tape on the back of the top blank border that bled through to the front. Someone put some tape on the back of the entire right border where there had been a few small tears, and that tape has bled through to the front. There are pen numbers in the lower left blank border. But overall, the poster has survived in pretty nice condition, and its defects are primarily in the blank borders. Learn More about condition grades
