Vintage Mercedes Daimler Advertisement by Stuttgart Studiosis a hand pulled lithograph printed on rare, made in Paris Marinoni Voirin press. is sequentially numbered 135 in pencil in the lower left border by a curator at S2 Editions. During the automobile's first years, the expensive, dashing, automobile was a plaything of the social elite and was surrounded with mystery. The driver and his passenger were bold explorers of the New World. Brand names were substituted for the word "automobile" and an owner began to refer to his automobile as "Mercedes" and the names, because of their use in posters, became symbols of power or wealth or speed. This vintage poster was originally produced at a Stuttgart studio, which did not credit the artist. The background is the Stuttgart Palace Garden, which became the Stuttgart State Opera, which still exists today. Copies of the vintage poster are in museums in Berlin and Munich. Measures 44 x 29 in.
