Schnackenberg produced a series of posters for Odeon Casino, Munich’s “finest amusement venue where the elegant world gathered after the theater and concert” , “His vampy type of woman with a pageboy haircut and a fashion that anticipated the 1920s was a sensation and provocation in Munic♔h at a time when the busty, sumptuously equipped ladies of the Wilhelmine era still dominated the image of women. [Schnackenberg’s woman was] thus a powerful motif for the ‘Jeunesse dorée’ (golden youth🍸)” (Plakate München, p. 92).
