Affiche van uitgeverij Hermann Seemann Nachfolger 1900

This 1900 poster by Walter Tiemann advertises illustrated editions of the Elzevier Press, published by Hermann Seemann Nachfolger. The Art Nouveau aesthetic is evident in the stylized typography, the flowing lines, and the depiction of a woman in a flowing gown reading a book. The poster's design evokes a sense of beauty and elegance, suggesting the high quality of the books being advertised. "Jeder Band 3 Mark" (Every Volume 3 Marks) highlights the affordable price of these beautifully illustrated publications. Tiemann's poster exemplifies the use of Art Nouveau to promote cultural and intellectual products in the early 20th century.
