Julius E. F. Gipkens (1883–1968), Plakate von Gipkens liefern Hollerbaum & Schmidt, before 1913
This poster, which functions by using stark contrasts, depicts a cat sleeping behind a tall vase containing flowering twigs. A dignified ambience is suggested. And yet neither luxury goods nor literary salons are being advertised here. Instead, the poster designed by Gipkens promotes the commercial artist himself, who worked exclusively for the Berlin printing works Hollerbaum & Schmidt.
