Next to the iconic polar bear on a blue background, René Van Poppel also drew some other high-profile Zoo posters. Against the background of a simplified yellow-ochre-coloured city plan, the zoo is show in a large cut-out in which we see an impression of the camel habitat and in the background the reptile building. A large black arrow immediately draws the attention to this 'cartouche'. For the first time real advertising slogans were used: 'De uitstap van dit jaar - Eenig in het land! - Een bezoek aan de Zoo van Antwerpen'. This is a curious outlier in the works of Van Poppel, for whom the Zoo was an important client. (From 'Kom nog eens af' - 150 jaar affiches voor de Zoo': catalogue for the exhibition with the same name in the context of Antwerp Cultural Capital in 1993).
