Item Details
Description
38 x 78 cm (15 x 31 inch) - without frame Leica advertisement as reverse glass painting with original frame.

The title of this – presumably unique – picture reads “Revolution in photography means Leitz-LEICA-CAMERA, Small Photographs – Great Pictures”. An advertisement with a similar text appeared in Der Photograph on August 13, 1926. In his book Leica in der Werbung Rüttinger reproduces yet another version of his advertisement (cf. also Leica ADS by Paul Comon & Art Evans, p. 3), dating it to the summer of 1927. Leitz’ Objektiv no. 64 (Dec. 1968) features a reprint of the original version of this advertisement. The design and text differ from the present object and from Rüttinger’s version.
The image shows the first version of the I A with Anastigmat, the first printing plate, the text names the lens Leitz Anastigmat “Elmar”. Thus, the advertising panel must have been produced after October 1925, when the Elmar was introduced. Extremely decorative and in excellent original condition.
