Wiener Werkstätte Postcards Wrapping Paper

In 1907, the Wiener Werkstätte began publishing a numbered series of postcards, which would ultimately exceed 1,000. The cards celebrated contemporary events and popular fashion, and many were designed to celebrate holidays.

All of the major designers who worked for the firm were contributors in this medium including Josef Hoffmann, Oskar Kokoschka, Egon Schiele, and Dagobert Peche. Other noteworthy artists who were active in this area whose names may be less familiar include Moriz Jung, Rudolf Kalvach, Mela Koehler, and Maria Likarz, among others.
