A German-language advertisement for the printers J.G. Shelter and Giesecke, this color piece pairs its trade message with an angel seated at an organ and sixteen bars of music. Dated between 1875 and 1890, it belongs to the many colored trade advertisements that German printing houses and suppliers circulated in those decades to win customers. Its date and medium are only partly verified, and it is catalogued among mostly American printing-trade ephemera, which makes it a useful point of comparison across national lines.
