The image is a cover page of a publication from January 1928. The title at the top in German reads: "Wirtschaftliche Ausgabe der Ostsee-Rundschau und Mitteilungen der Handelskammer zu Lübeck" which translates to "Economic Edition of the Baltic Sea Review and Announcements of the Chamber of Commerce of Lübeck." The main visual elements of the cover include a stylized depiction of a wind rose on the left, signaling Lübeck as a significant point. Below it is the text "Lübeck Deutscher Passagier Hafen an der Ostsee" translating to "Lübeck, German Passenger Port on the Baltic Sea." This is followed by a concentric design extending downward, consisting of representative graphics and names of countries connected by Lübeck including Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland). There is text stating "Lübeck Mittelpunkt Deutsch-Nordischen Verkehrs" meaning "Lübeck, Center of German-Northern Traffic." The cover also highlights the logistical benefits of using Lübeck for transportation with the words: "Billige und schnelle Gutertransporte stets über Lübeck" translating to "Cheap and fast goods transport always via Lübeck." At the bottom, it mentions “Heft 1” (Issue 1) and the date "Januar 1928" along with the name "Lübeck" indicating the city where it was published. The style of the image is reflective of the design aesthetics of the 1920s, with an emphasis on geometric shapes and a mixture of brown, green, and blue colors.

This image appears to be a vintage poster or graphic design, likely used for advertising or informational purposes. The design is organized with a strong Art Deco or geometric style, indicative of the early 20th century design aesthetic. The top portion features a circular symbol with a cross inside, akin to a navigational or maritime symbol. Central to the design is a bold, stylized arrow pointing downwards, within which the word "LÜBECK" is prominently featured. The text inside the arrow mentions it being a passenger harbor on the Baltic Sea and describes it as a focal point for German-Nordic traffic. The sides of the arrow have text as well, and these seem to be names of countries or regions: "DÄNEMARK" (Denmark), "SCHWEDEN" (Sweden), "NORWEGEN" (Norway), "FINNLAND" (Finland), "RUSSLAND" (Russia), "ESTLAND" (Estonia), "LETTLAND" (Latvia), "LITAUEN" (Lithuania), and "DANZIG" (which was a semi-autonomous city in the interwar period, now Gdańsk, Poland). The words "WIRTSCHAFTLICHE AUSGABE DER OSTSEE-RUNDSCHAU UND MITTEILUNGEN DER HANDELSKAMMER ZU LÜBECK" are aligned along the left edge of the arrow, indicating an economic edition of the Baltic Review and communications of the Lübeck Chamber of Commerce. At the bottom, additional text states "BILLIGE UND SCHNELLE GÜTERTRANSPORTE STETS SURE LÜBECK" suggesting affordable and fast goods transportation always via Lübeck, emphasizing its importance in trade and logistics. In the bottom left corner, there's the word "HEFT" followed by a space and 1, suggesting that this might be part of a series ("Heft" translates to "issue" in English), and the date "JANUAR 1928," indicating when this material was likely published or relevant. The use of bold text and the ship-style arrow suggests an effort to communicate importance and movement, and the image is heavy with early 20th-century European commercial and maritime themes.

This is a German magazine cover or advertisement from January 1928 for "Ostsee-Rundschau" (Baltic Sea Review), a publication of the Chamber of Commerce in Lübeck. The design is modernist in style, featuring a striking geometric composition in red, blue, and olive green on a beige background. The layout forms a stylized ship or anchor shape, with a compass rose at the top in red. The central element features the skyline of Lübeck in olive green, showing its characteristic church spires. The design includes a list of Baltic countries in blue banners arranged diagonally: Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Danzig. The text describes Lübeck as the center of German-Nordic transport ("Mittelpunkt Deutsch-Nordischen Verkehrs") and promotes "cheap and fast goods transport always through Lübeck" ("Billige und Schnelle Gütertransporte Stets über Lübeck"). It also identifies Lübeck as a German passenger port on the Baltic Sea. This is a excellent example of 1920s graphic design, employing clean typography, bold colors, and geometric shapes characteristic of the modernist movement of that era.
