Five Schools, Built to Deepen · Plakat — the Object Poster
Maxim Bar
Hans Rudi Erdt · Flickr (no institution named), 1907
What it is
Dated 1907 on the file page, this Maxim Bar poster is early Erdt — he was born in 1883 — and already leaning toward the pared-back Berlin manner he would be known for.
Why it matters
The Commons licensing rests on US publication before 1 January 1931, and the page carries an explicit caution that status elsewhere may differ. Source is given only as Flickr; no museum or catalogue number is recorded.
What to notice
Erdt at twenty-four, advertising a bar with a poster that already knows what to leave out.
One object, one word, and nothing wasted.
