(1865 – 1951) Influential German businessman and politician. An important figure in nationalist politics in Germany, Hugenberg became the country's leading media proprietor during the 1920s. As leader of the German National People's Party, he played a part in helping Adolf Hitler become chancellor of Germany and served in his first cabinet in 1933, hoping to control Hitler and use him as his tool. The plan failed, and by the end of 1933 Hugenberg had been pushed to the sidelines. Rare S.P., 3.5 x 5.5 in. b/w, a chest, up pose signed in black ink at bottom. Fine.
