What it is
A colour lithograph Paul Scheurich made in 1916 for the exhibition Die Kunst im Krieg in Berlin, 72 by 95 cm, from the Rehse-Archiv für Zeitgeschichte und Publizistik, now at the Library of Congress.
Why it matters
The exhibition, Art in War, opened in Berlin, and the sheet gives its place, its dates and the price of entry. Scheurich modelled figures for Meissen porcelain.
What to notice
A large Roman helmet over the lettering, and the signature Scheurich, '16.
Antiquity's helmet, worn to a gallery opening.
