History: Walter Schnackenberg born in 1880
On this day in 1880, the German painter and illustrator was born. At age 19, Schnackenberg went to Munich to study art. Under the guidance of Franz von Stuck, he gained a reputation for drawings and caricatures, appearing in the art magazine Jugend and the satirical magazine “Simplicissimus.” Schnackenberg is known for designing stage sets, theatre costumes, and posters, including one from ca. 1920 for his father-in-law’s Europäische Güter- und Reisegepäck-Versicherungs-AG travel insurance firm (see below) and famous examples for Munich’s Deutsches Theater.
