Within the matting, the poster measures 10” x 12 ½.” Its black frame measures 19” x 21 ½.” An open-beaked black Imperial German war eagle’s head (accented with gold highlights) dominates the poster’s top section. A white dove flies immediately below the eagle, its outstretched wing almost caressing the eagle’s neck. The dove, whose details are outlined in blue/green, carries a gold-leaf olive branch in its beak. The two birds are soaring above a stylized German countryside that greatly resembles those depicted in Medieval German woodcuts. The poster’s bottom section features the title “Zeichnet Kriegsanleihe” (War Bond Design). Its artist’s name, K. Gigrift, appears beneath the bottom right section of the countryside. More production information appears at the poster’s bottom. The lower left corner reads “Entwurf (Design): RmK Sigrift, Stuttgart-Kaltenthal.” The lower right corner reads “Lith. u. Druck: Eckstein & Stähle, Kgl. [Königlich] Hofkunstanstalt, Stuttgart” (Lithographer & Printer: Eckstein & Stähle Royal Court Printing Works, Stuttgart. It is a very handsome poster that did what it could to help promote funding the war effort.

  THREE-PHOTOGRAPH SET – EARLY ZEPPELIN

  SKU: 40-413

  $125.00

  This is a three-photograph set that shows an early zeppelin as it readies for flight. A name is written on each photograph ‘s reverse, which looks like “Lachmüller,” or something similar.

  *Nr 1. The photograph measures 4 3/4″ x 5 1/4.” The zeppelin is tethered to the ground, while its small gondola is on the ground allowing passengers to embark. A large group of military officers and ground crew is on the airfield.

  *Nr 2. The photograph measures 4 3/4″ x 6 1/4.” The zeppelin has just lifted off. The gondola is under it, while the ground crew and observers are watching it take off.

  *Nr 3. The photograph measures 6 1/4″ x 4 1/2.” The zeppelin is in full flight, perhaps 100-200 meters above the ground. Some smoke or a wisp of fog is right under the zeppelin. I do not know or understand its cause, unless it is related to a factory smoke stack in the background.

  This is a fine group of a very early zeppelin as it goes from being readied for flight, to launch, and to actual flight.
