(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Walter Maria Kersting was a German architect and industrial designer. Career In 1928, he published the Bilderbuch für Kaufleute, a publicity handbook containing examples of catalogues, posters and packaging designs which had been created by Kersting and his wife in a plain and functional style.

In 1964 examples of his work were shown at ‘documenta III’, an exhibition of modern German art and design, in Kassel.
