An Original Vintage Unfolded German Stage Play Poster (measures 33" x 46 3/4" [84 x 119 cm]) (Learn More) Ruhrfestspiele, the 1984 German poster promoting a theater festival held in Recklinghausen from May 1st to June 24th. Note that this poster features art of a litfass column announcing the shows. Ernst Litfass was a German printer and publisher who invented the free-standing cylindrical advertising "litfass" column which bears his name. In 1854 he proposed putting up columns in the streets of Berlin for announcement and advertising purposes. Allegedly, he was disgusted by the unsystematic and ubiquitous posting of pamphlets, notices and other materials on walls, doors, fences and trees. In December that year he was granted permission, and in 1855 the first 100 litfass columns were presented in Berlin. Litfass had a monopoly on his advertising columns and grew rich fast. After his death in Wiesbaden in 1874, the idea of putting up the columns quickly spread to other German cities, and today they can be found in other countries as well. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster has never been folded and it is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
