Jugend

Founded in 1896 by G. Hirth's Verlag, Jugend is a landmark German comic series that ran for 103 issues, defining the artistic spirit of the Jugendstil movement. Primarily associated with the distinctive signatures of artists like Arpad Schmidhammer and Arthur Hirth, its pages blended satirical humor, elegant illustration, and avant-garde design. More than a comic, it served as a cultural touchstone, giving a name to an entire era of European art and design.
