Steinway.jpg

Date: 1928 (1933,1949)

Description: Advertisement for Steinway pianos - the most reproduced of all Axter-Heudtlass' work. Date is uncertain - both 1933 and 1949 are listed on multiple websites, though more likely to be 1928 based on a similar composition shown in Modern Publicity (January 1928). The 1949 date could be derived from Werner's death in that year.
