Located in the Old Botanical Garden, it hosted dozens of major art exhibitions until its destruction in a fire in 1931 – a fate that the London model would share a few years later.\n\nShown here is the cover of the catalog to the annual exhibition of 1902 – and a selection of pages with adverts.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source: archive.org **License: All Rights Reserved. _\n\n\n\nSection page for the appendix with adverts – which were handled by Rudolf Mosse. **Römische Antiqua** is paired with **Angelus-Mediäval**. The small type at the bottom is **Mediäval-Egyptienne** or similar.\n\n\n\n\n_License: All Rights Reserved. _\n\n\n\n**Greif** is a condensed companion to Ludwig & Mayer’s Aurora. It’s here used with various alternates, see for example the two forms for **g** , **s** , **H** and **M**. In this ad for E.A. Fleischmann’s Hof-Kunsthandlung it’s used together with **Breite magere Grotesk**.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source: archive.org **License: All Rights Reserved. _\n\n\n\nThe ad by Passage Schüssel features **Eckmann** , a typeface that was ubiquitous in German commercial printing in the first decade of the 20th century. It can here be seen with some of the accompanying _Schmuck_ , or ornaments.\n\n\n\n\n_License: All Rights Reserved. _\n\n\n\nThe ad for L. Bernheimer, purveyor to the Royal Bavarian court, mixes several of the aforementioned typefaces, plus **Etienne schmal** , Schelter & Giesecke’s **Etienne** , **Breite magere Grotesk** , a condensed sans (possibly Schelter & Giesecke’s Schmale Steinschrift which originated at Figgins), one of the many German copies of **Bradley** , and a couple more.\n\n\n\n\n_License: All Rights Reserved. _\n\n\n\nArt dealer M. Wagmüller specified **Isis** for the name and **Römisch** for everything else.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source: archive.org **License: All Rights Reserved. _\n\n\n\nMore Eckmann (here with long s (ſ)), Angelus-Mediäval, and Greif, the latter used alongside the wider **Aurora** – for “Photochrom”, with a **CH** ligature. “Maler” is in **Holsatia**.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source: archive.org **License: All Rights Reserved. _\n\n\n\nKrause & Finckh promoted their _Magazin für bildende Kunst_ with Georg Schiller’s **Neudeutsch**.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source: archive.org **License: All Rights Reserved. _\n\n\n\nBack cover with more Römische Antiqua\n\n\n\nThis post was originally published at Fonts In Use\n\n* * *",
