Peter Birkhäuser - Zwitserse Beurs in Bazel / Foire Suisse Bâle - jaren 1950

Originele reclame-affiche uit 1951 door Peter Birkhäuser (1911-1976, getekend in de plaat onderaan rechts) voor de jaarlijkse Beurs van Bazel in Zwitserland. Een typisch voorbeeld van het Zwitserse 'Sachplakat' met de hyperrealistische, dikwijls sterk uitvergrote weergave van (gebruiks)voorwerpen en commerciële producten. Hier staat een aambeeld op sokkel als symbool voor de Zwitserse nijverheid. Zeldzaam.
Druk: Wolfsbergdruck, Zurich
Conditie B+ : normale, niet storende horizontale en verticale vouwsporen. Frisse kleuren.
Verzending: gevouwen in verstevigde omslag met track & trace.
