About the Item
PETER PATHE, poster lithograph, Schnackenberg School, 1919, the image features the headline performer, Peter Pathe, in drag wearing a form-fitting button-down jacket, high-waisted shorts buttoning down the front, Mary Jane dance shoes and calf-length white socks; Pathe is depicted in motion with raised jazz hands which frame his bushy-haired heavily made-up face and body curving in dynamic lateral movement with raised front leg turned out; with printed text at the bottom: “PETER PATHE/und/Fritz Wolf-Killanyi * Renate Ferena/Tia Majja * Else Zimmermann tanzenmit grossem/Orchester (Leitung: Rob. Tants) Donnerstag, 18 Nov., amends 71/2 Uhr im Konzertsaal Hotel “Vier Jahreszeiten”/Karten zu Mk. 20. - bis Mk. 3.- bei Alfr. Schmid Nachf., Residenzstr. 7 und Otto Halbreiter, Promendeplatz 16.”; printed text at mid-right: “M. Pathe/19”; marked with the printer’s stamp in the lower right: “Oscar Consee/Kunstanstalt/Munchen/Valley Str./7-9”; the poster is secured by matting and framed with a plexiglass cover, Boston Framer’s label verso.
So much about Munich’s electric cabaret scene and power of artistic collaboration during the Weimar Republic is captured in this poster image. For 20 German Marks, one could purchase a ticket for the Thursday, 7:30pm performance on November 18, 1919 organized by Robert Tants from one of two local music publishers, Alfred Schmid Nachfolger or Otto Halbreiter, for a raucous dance performance featuring Peter Pathe and other dancers who would be accompanied by a Big Band at the Hotel Four Season’s Concert hall. This was a one-night only event. Schnackenberg’s printer, Oscar Consee (1875-1919) produced the advertisement poster. Schnackenberg’s artistic images emphasize the body’s form as it is revealed by the interplay of dance and its related movement in costume. His posters were an extension of his close collaboration with cabarets who featured dancers as well as his own costume design which often inspired the choreography for a performance. In fact, Schnackenberg even created a poster to advertise Consee’s poster printing business. He also created at least two previous posters featuring dancing duo Peter Pathe and Maria Hagan. Here, the poster reinforces the costume’s significance, an outfit typical of one sex worn by a person of the opposite sex, by introducing an equally ambiguous signature. In this case, the area on the mid-right where the artist’s signature is typically located, reads instead: “M. Pathe” in block letters. M. is cryptic. It is transformational. With one letter, one move, Peter Pathe is in character to delight the adoring Munich public.

"Laderlappen" Original Lithograph Poster by Walter Schnackenberg
By Walter Schnackenberg
Located in Chicago, IL
Printed by Oscar Consee, Munich, 1922
Not much is known about this Stockholm-based cabaret act. Translating literally as Bat Man, we see a young dancer tease an oversized bat wearing a monocle -- a truly bizarre but beautiful design. (text by Jack Rennert)
Walter Schnackenberg’s style changed several times during his long and successful career. Having studied in Munich, the artist traveled often to Paris where he fell under the spell of the Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s colorful and sensuous posters depicting theatrical and decadent subjects. Schnackenberg became a regular contributor of similar compositions to the German magazines Jugend and Simplicissimus before devoting himself to the design of stage scenery...
