2081 Radfahrer Verungluckten 1928 (literally translates to "2081 Cyclists Crashed in 1928"), the 1929 German poster promoting bicycle safely, and featuring Franz Paul Glass art of several cyclists and huge tires, stressing that cyclists must be very careful while driving on the roads alongside motor vehicles. Glass was a German graphic designer, painter, illustrator and typographer from the 1910s to the 1960s. In 1914 Glass (along with Valentin Zietara, Friedrich Heubner, Carl Moos, Emil Preetorius and Max Schwarzer) founded the artist group "Die Sechs" (The Six) to counterbalance Ludwig Hohlwein, who was the dominant figurehead in the field of German advertising. Their service included the offer of six different initial designs for every job.
