About this motif
The advertising pillar is a Berlin invention: in the mid-19th century the printer Ernst Litfaß set up the first pillars to bring order to fly-posting. They soon appeared in cities all over the world.
Mincu's etching shows a poster-covered pillar in a courtyard, surrounded by people in historical dress, with a large building with an outside staircase behind. Image about 8 x 11 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
