Few posters on this board name their maker as specifically as this one, which advertises instruments from A. Vogelweith and Ch. Rinkel & Cie. and carries the imprint of a Strasbourg-Mulhouse printer. The record dates it only to the 1940s, a decade that spanned the Second World War and its aftermath. Alsace was under German control from 1940 until its liberation in late 1944 and 1945, so commercial printing in Strasbourg and Mulhouse during these years reflects a region rebuilding its economic life under French administration. As an advertisement for musical instruments, the poster offers a glimpse of how French manufacturers marketed their goods in that period.
