Abstract:
The papers of Carl Ernst Hinkefuss document the career of this graphic designer, as well as broader developments in German
commercial graphic design in the early decades of the twentieth century. The archive is comprised primarily of original trademark
and logo designs and related materials, some created independently by Hinkefuss, and some in collaboration with his business
partner, Wilhelm Deffke, under the aegis of their company, Wilhelmwerk. Other items in the archive relate to the journal
Qualität, the clearest expression of Hinkefuss's attempt to integrate the worlds of commerce and design, and to his children's
book,
Mein Vogelparadies.
