Too good to be true…
From the world of Reigen magazine: Vintage illustration for your print project as a download!
The 1926 motif by F. Seher shows a strong, expressive female figure in a sophisticated visual language. The illustration combines cheeky irony with the provocative zeitgeist of Reigen – an expressive example of the self-confident visual world of the 1920s. Image quote: “Too good to be true… My husband doesn’t deserve my loyalty for hours…”
The image preview is heavily reduced in size and protected with a watermark. In the purchased version, this will be removed.
Restoration & Quality
The motif was cleaned, retouched, imperfections removed and the colors adjusted. The image quality is very good. Nevertheless, please note: this vintage illustration is over 100 years old. We have not digitally altered the motif. It still has an authentic charm.
Usage & Download
After purchase, the motif can be used for your creative, personal printing projects. Use is restricted to private use. You can find more info below in the “Download Dos and Don’ts” tab.
Printing recommendation
For the best effect, we recommend a slightly shimmering, satin-matte paper with little texture. This is the best way to show off the dark tones, the violet accent and the light yellows – elegant and without disturbing shine.

Reigen – Sheets for gallant art and dance – fought for the recognition of eroticism as a cultural factor. The magazine was confiscated in some German cities in the 1920s. Here is an original text excerpt from the 1920 Reigen magazine: “In the future, too, the magazine will cultivate in word and image, in verse and prose, that art which is the charming expression of a cheerful and uninhibited gallantry. Even in our serious times, the erotic has not lost its cultural significance, even if it sometimes seems as if its heyday lies in past epochs. Perhaps the importance of the inner joy of life rooted in the erotic has even particularly increased in a time that is not too rich in external pleasures.”
