Gotschke worked for Mercedes-Benz in 1938 producing posters and illustrations depicting the team’s numerous victories. Following the war, he returned as a freelance illustrator for Mercedes, and became chief illustrator for Automobile Quarterly, Road and Track and Auto Motor und Sport.
Given his enthusiasm for racing subjects, to have a work depicting a more domestic subject, is quite rare.
