Figure 23: “Anthroposophie, Oesterreichischer Bote von Menschengeist zu Menschengeist,”<br />

published by the Bund fur Freies Geistesleben in Austria. The journal appeared twice<br />

monthly from November 1922. The design was drawn by Dr. Steiner.<br />

Figure 24: The same design as that drawn by Dr. Steiner shown in fig. 20. It was given by<br />

him in 1920 for the “Verein des Goetheanum,” together with the lettering in it, which<br />

was copied as faithfully as possible for printing. Since then the design has been used at the<br />

Goetheanum in Dornach.<br />

Figure 25: This design was drawn by Dr. Steiner in 1921 or 1922 for Bulwer Lytton’s novel<br />

Zanoni, The Coming Race.<br />

Figure 26: This was drawn by Dr. Steiner. Nothing more is known about this design than<br />

that it was probably originally intended for writing paper. The motif, the same as in fig. 33, is<br />

drawn in the first case for upright format, <strong>and</strong> in the second for transverse format.<br />

Figure 27: Dr. Steiner drew this design before 1924 for the book Theosophie, <strong>and</strong> Frau Pyle-<br />

Waller then executed it for printing.<br />

Figure 28: A later use of the design shown in fig. 25. Note that the word “Vril,” belonging to<br />

the composition in fig. 25, is here omitted.<br />

Figure 29: This design was drawn by Dr. Steiner for the secretary’s office at the Goetheanum.<br />

The motif is the same as in fig. 31, where the form is adapted to a transverse format.<br />

Figure 30: A later use of the design shown in fig. 27.<br />

Figure 31: A design for members’ cards, for use within the Anthroposophical Society. Dr.<br />

Steiner probably drew it in 1923, as the cards were first used early in 1924. The cards are for<br />

transverse format. The print is old gold on a light blue ground of even tone. The motif is the<br />

same as in fig. 29, where it is drawn for upright format.<br />

Figure 32: An attendance card for the “Second International Congress of the<br />

Anthroposophical Movement for the Resolution of the Problem East versus West,” Vienna,<br />

June 1922. Dr. Steiner drew the design. The print is blue-violet (West) <strong>and</strong> red (East) on a<br />

pink ground.<br />

Figure 33: Dr. Steiner’s design for membership cards of the Anthroposophical Society, drawn<br />

probably in 1923, as they came into use early in 1924. The cards are transverse format. The<br />

print is olive green on a strong pink ground. The motif is the same as in fig. 26.
