Sigrid + Hans Lammle
Beautiful Cityscapes designed and illustrated by the German couple Sigrid and Hans Lammle. These illustrations were for a calendar published in 1957. Really amazing details and the colors are super bright and saturated. I need more of this! Any guesses as to what city this might be?
also worth checking: Miroslav Sasek- This is the United Nations

Yes Hamburg for me too. Really lovely, You know, I’ve seen stuff like this before. That type of line drawing with the color blocks that seem to have been deposited on top after. In my old school books from Latin America, there were lots of illustrations like this. On my next trip I’m going to have to search at my parents house for the textbooks.
Great work, thanks for finding and posting.

I don’t suppose there are desktop-sized scans of this? What a great wallpaper it would make.
