Portrait of Hannes Meyer, Aryeh Sharon and unidentified students at the Bauhaus in Dessau, Germany, holding a competition drawing by Hannes Meyer and Hans Wittwer for the League of Nations Building in Geneva, Switzerland

between 1927 and 1929

- The competition drawing by Hannes Meyer and Hans Wittwer for the League of Nations Building in Geneva (DR1984:0705) is similar to the competition drawing shown in photograph PH1984:0004. Both objects show axonometric representations for the building. The photograph lacks the toboggan-like element within the tower and the illegible inscription at the lower right is apparently different from the illegible inscription at the lower right of the drawing.
