EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover design for Das Plakat, an illustrated survey of German poster art, transports us back to March 1915 during the height of wartime Germany. The image, published by Verlag Max Schildberger in Berlin, showcases the industrial process of printing a newspaper with an intricate and detailed composition. Men in workwear diligently operate the printing press, carefully aligning the newspaper rolls on the platform, stacking the freshly printed papers on the steps, and meticulously checking the quality of the newsprint. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of purpose and dedication as they contribute to the communications infrastructure of the time. The cover art is a testament to the historical significance of the newspaper industry during wartime, as it served as a vital source of news and information for the population. The illustrated survey, Das Plakat, highlights the artistry and craftsmanship involved in creating these essential publications. The men's focused expressions and the precision of their movements convey the importance of their work in maintaining the flow of information during a time of conflict. The cover design also emphasizes the historical importance of the media and press industry, which played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and keeping the population informed. The intricate details, from the rollers and gears of the printing press to the stacked newspapers and the men's workwear, provide a captivating glimpse into the industrial process that brought news to the people during a pivotal moment in history.
