The Designer, Otto Arpke: Otto Arpke (1886-1943), was a renowned German painter, illustrator, and graphic designer. Born in Braunschweig and influenced by notable German artists like August Schlüter, Emil Orlik, and Paul Scheurich. He served as a professor at the Mainz School of Arts and Crafts (Kunst- und Gewerbeschule) and is celebrated for his graphic works. His portfolio includes posters for the Norddeutscher Lloyd and HAPAG shipping companies, the iconic poster for “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” movie, and various magazine covers. Additionally, Arpke’s artistic flair extended to the interior decoration of the Hindenburg and Graf Zeppelin II airships. However, with the rise of the Nazi regime, Arpke faced accusations of socialist leanings, leading to his removal from his position in Mainz. He was in contact with the Berlin resistance movement, which disseminated anti-Nazi leaflets, and is known to have assisted his Jewish friends in hiding and escaping from Germany.

The Jaffa orange (Arabic: برتقال يافا), also known by their Arabic name, Shamouti orange, is an orange variety with few seeds and a tough skin that makes it particularly suitable for export.

Developed by Arab farmers in the mid-19th century, the variety takes its name from the city of Jaffa where it was first produced for export. [1] [2] The orange was the primary citrus export for the city. It is, along with the navel and bitter orange, one of three main varieties of the fruit grown in the Mediterranean, Southern Europe, and the Middle East. The Jaffa is also cultivated in Cyprus, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Turkey. [2] [3]
