An original Cinderella stamp of a poster by Martin Lehmann-Steglitz for the First Variety Exhibition, held in Berlin in May 1914. A member of the Deutscher Werkbund, Lehmann-Steglitz ran successful design studio in Berlin in the 1910s and 1920s. At once a wonderful piece of poster art and an evocative time capsule image of glamorous Berlin literally in the days before the outbreak of the First World War.
Size 55 mm x 42 mm approx.
In good to very good condition with minor signs of handling and age.
