Jübilaüms Kunstausstellung. 1898.
This Secessionist-inspired design promotes an exhibition by members of Vienna's Kunstlerhaus; it was one of many events staged to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Kaiser Franz Josef's assumption to the throne. Lefler himself was a member of the Kunstlerhaus, as well as a founding member of the Hagenbund, which rebelled against the art establishment of the time. He was also a painter and stage designer for the Vienna Opera and contributed a set to New York's Metropolitan Opera.
