Lot description
Julius Klinger 1876-1942 Zoologischer Garten. 1910. Condition A / A-: minor abrasions and restoration at edges. Framed. For this poster, Klinger veers from his trademark caricature style of illustration, but rather shows his abilities as an excellent, classical draughtsman - reminiscent of Hohlwein. A bright, detailed, pink flamingo fills up most of the image, looming large over a precise architectural rendering of the buildings of the zoo (still in existence today); the typography is neatly arrayed across the bottom of the poster. Klinger also designed a poster for the aquarium of the Berlin Zoo. Klinger p. 56 no. 70, DFP-III 1705.
