A young athlete, leaning on her double paddle, boards her LFB (Leipziger Faltboot Bau) canoe Kayak
Original poster, lithograph printed in color circa 1930 for the French market. 84cm. x 60cm. The poster is signed with the monogram K O in the upper left-hand corner, but it has not been possible to identify the author.
RARE POSTER IN VERY GOOD CONDITION (a few marks of handling) for this famous German firm specializing in the construction of folding canoes.
These popular canoes, manufactured since the 1920s, were made famous by Oskar Speck, who successfully sailed them from Germany to Australia, an Odyssey that lasted seven years between 1932 and 1939.
This low-angle view of the young athlete evokes the Neue Sachlichkeit movement (German New Objectivity of the 1930s).

Oskar Speck's epic journeyIn 1932, in a Germany in crisis, Oskar Speck, a young man eager for adventure, decided to leave his homeland aboard his folding canoe, the Pionier. Initially, his goal was to reach Cyprus to find work in the copper mines, but once there, the call of the unknown drove him to continue his journey far beyond. Navigating the stormy waters of the Aegean Sea and skirting the coasts of the Middle East, Oskar meets fishermen and merchants who help him repair his canoe and stock up on supplies. Each stage of his journey brings new encounters and discoveries, reinforcing his adventurous spirit. On the Arabian Sea, Oskar battles raging tropical storms. Despite howling winds and threatening waves, he perseveres, taking refuge on small deserted islands to rebuild his boat and regain his strength before setting sail again. |

Oskar Speck's epic journey (Continued)Crossing India and Ceylon, Oskar is greeted by the curiosity of the locals and amazed by the exotic landscapes. Coral reefs and sandy beaches are welcome stops before continuing on to Malaysia and its lush jungles. The Indonesian archipelagos mark another crucial stage in his journey. Between the songs of exotic birds and the lapping of waves, Oskar paddles on, determined to reach his final goal despite the physical and logistical challenges. After a seven-year voyage, Oskar finally reached Saibai Island in Australia's Torres Strait in September 1939, just as the Second World War was beginning. He was interned as a prisoner of war, but his incredible epic made him a legend, symbolizing human courage and determination in the face of adversity. |
