Germany Poster Stamp - 1913, Bremen - Plakatausstellung

Description: [zipedit] GermanyEvent Publicity Poster Stamp Poster stamp issued as publicity for the Plakatausstellung Bremen (Bremen Poster Exhibition) held from August 31 - September 21, 1913. This exhibition was sponsored by the Verein der Plakatfreunde (Association of Friends of the Poster), and other groups. While the stamp's design is by Willi Menz (1890 - ?), and reproduces the official poster for the event, the image in the center of the stamp is the logo of the VdP, which was designed by Lucian Bernhard. The original poster is listed in "Das frühe Plakat in Europa und den USA", as (Germany) # 2207. According to Wikipedia: From a translation of a Wikipedia article about the VdP:The Association of Poster Friends for art in advertising was founded in 1905 by six "poster friends" in Berlin . Among them were the dentist and collector Hans Sachs , the artist Lucian Bernhard and Hans Meyer. These first members formulated the association's goal of promoting advertising. They intended "to influence the poster industry in the artistic sense in particular and to promote interest in the artist poster among the public and the business world through exhibitions , lectures as well as the exchange and sale of posters." The association of poster friends mediated between inquiring customers and the independently artistically working association members and vice versa. The club magazine Mitteilungen des Verein der Posterfreunde , published from 1910 onwards, was followed by the magazine Das Plakat , which appeared for the first time in 1913 and until the club was dissolved in 1920 . Journal of the Association of Poster Friends e. V. These publications found a large group of buyers: While the forerunner first edition was still 200 copies in 1910, 3,000 copies left the printing presses in 1916. At the same time, the number of association members grew: while in 1912 there were 551 members, the number increased to 1,150 in the following year. Numerous “prominent designers and critics" Included, as well as influential companies and organizations such as Wiener Werkstätte, Hollerbaum & Schmidt, Henkell & Co. Sektkellerei, the Association of German Advertising Professionals (VDR), the "Library of the Royal Museum of Decorative Arts Berlin", the paint works of Bayer AG, the Brand owner of 4711 and the chocolate manufacturer Stollwerck. In addition to the headquarters of the Association of Poster Friends in Berlin, local groups were formed in Dresden, Munich, and Hanover . In the Weimar Republic , the association disbanded in 1920.

After 35+ years I decided to retire from being an active Cinderella Stamp dealer. Most of my working inventory plus backup stock was sold at public auction. However, I have retained some material that I will be offering for sale. In addition, I have some "new" material that was mixed into lots I have bought for my own collections. I will be listing some of the material in my eBay store at fixed prices. I will also be offering some material at auction, either as single items or mixed lots. There will be many bargains available. There will be large and small lots, some containing similar material, some containing a random mixture, and some containing only one or a few items. The condition will be mixed, but none of the lots will be just accumulations of damaged or faulty stamps (unless specifically listed as such). Items in stockpage or larger lots may be removed and repackaged into glassines to save on shipping costs. A Note about Poster Stamps and Gum: Because many poster stamp collectors are primarily interested in the image on the stamp, the absence or presence of gum on the back is of little concern. If no mention of gum is made, then there may or may not be gum present. If you are only interested in poster stamps with original gum, please inquire before bidding. Actual condition issues (that are not apparent from the scan) WILL be described. * A Note about "Stock Images": Occasionally I will have more than one example of an item in inventory. Rather than scan each one individually, I may use the same image for multiple examples of the item. If that is the case, the item supplied will be in substantially the same, or better, condition than the image. Any such items will have the words: "STOCK IMAGE" at the end of the description.
