Large death notice poster

[visor]

I was wondering if anyone has stumbled across one of these.
Large size glossy photo of dead and missing men from Horingen 9.25” x 11.75”

Is this a fantasy piece or something printed after the war?


Any info appreciated, thank you in advance.

It was printed after the war. Here is a link that will give you more information about your poster, including the names of the dead and missing. Dwight

Yes a modern copy, brovira paper is current. But a nice visual record of the faces of the fallen from Höringen.

On the LW collectibles website it says the top marking is wartime and bottom one is post war. This is what bothered me, that a post war print has a wartime marking?
Could be printed shortly after the war on old stock, maybe put up at local churches?
Maybe even for some reunion events? How long after the war would they allow pictures of Nazis in Germany to be posted?

It is also not a printer made copy, most definitely a photo image.

Is the information on the LW site incorrect?

AGFA Photopaper
AGFA (Actien-Gesellschaft für Anilin-Fabrikation” was founded in 1867 in Berlin and in the beginning produced only chemical compounds for photography. After 1913 the company offered also photo paper. From 1964 onwards it became Agfa-Gevaert GmbH. AGFA photo paper belonged to the most used photo paper before 1945 apart from LEONAR. The most common ones were AGFA-Brovira and AGFA-Lupex, which were produced also after 1945 but with a different logo.

Extra info I found on back markings

The photographic paper back‐printing project began in June 2007 and stemmed from an interest in documenting manufacturer‐applied markings while also providing a broad method for dating photographic prints with such markings. The results of this work are presented on the Paul Messier studio website. The markings on the site (Backprinting on Photographic Papers) are presented only for fiber‐based silver gelatin papers. Reflecting the strengths and weaknesses of the reference collection, most papers are North American and European in origin. Paper samples from manufacturer sample books and packages of unexposed paper were surveyed for back‐ printing. Of the over 3,000 samples assessed, only 278 examples of back‐printing were discovered (excluding special "postcard" papers, especially popular in the 1930's and 1940's).







This last photo is postwar marking according to LW collectibles

[BlackCat1982]

You are correct, the paper probably does date to the 1940s/50's. When I said modern I should have said post wartime my apologies.

No need for apologies my friend, I understood your meaning as postwar.
