MAURICE GREIFFENHAGEN Pall Mall Budget, 1897

This is a first printing lithographic plate from Hans Sachs and Edmund Sonsel’s influential 1897 book Das Moderne Plakat (The Modern Poster), published by Verlag von Gerhard Kuhtmann in Dresden. The lithograph features artwork by Maurice Greiffenhagen, titled Pall Mall Budget, and is a prime example of late 19th-century poster design. As one of the original plates included in the historic publication, this piece reflects the artistic and cultural movement that helped elevate the poster to a legitimate form of modern art. A rare and important artifact for collectors and enthusiasts of early graphic design and poster history.
