A title page from a portfolio of prints, listing various artists

Bold black type on a white page is arranged in a stylized manner. At top left in large bold is the word “HUNGER”. Just below this at top center is a “7” in equally large type, with two lines of German text to the right of it, “ORIGINALLITHOGRAPHIEN” above “GESMATERLOS FUR DIE HUNGERHILFE”. Below are two more blocks of text in German, including a list at center of seven artists: Otto Dix, George Grosz, Eric Johansson, Käthe Kollwitz, Otto Nagel, Karl Völker, and Heinrich Zille. This group is typeset so that each name occupies the same amount of space on each line. At lower left is the date “1924” in small bold type.
