What it is
A poster Ludwig Hohlwein designed in 1918 for the Ludendorff-Spende, the fund for Germany's war-disabled, 90 by 60 cm, from a sheet catalogued by the Dorotheum.
Why it matters
The fund carried the name of General Erich Ludendorff and collected for soldiers disabled in the war. The Atlas carries Hohlwein's First World War sheets only.
What to notice
The Dorotheum entry reads Ludendorff-Spende für Kriegsversehrte, Entwurf Ludwig Hohlwein: the fund, the war-wounded and the designer, in one line.
A general's name, lent to the wounded.
