Released in 1900, Eckmann was a huge and instant commercial hit. T. Schalcher named it “the first German advertising type” in an article from 1929. It’s hence a spot-on choice for the cover of this book about advertising art from around 1900.
Die ganze Welt ist unser Feld. Reclame-Kunst um 1900 der Ausrüster für das Graphische Gewerbe. / The whole World is our Field of Activity. Advertisements for Ourselves: The Printing Equipment Manufacturer at the Turn of the 19th Century.
