Costume Design

The Cooper-Hewitt Design Library collects in the fields of graphic design, illustration, and theatre and costume design history. Walter Schnackenberg (1880-1961) studied art in Germany except for a brief period in Paris in 1907-1909. Following his return to Germany, Schnackenberg worked as a painter, illustrator, poster artist, and theatre set and costume designer. This book represents the diversity of Schnackenberg's work.
