About this poster

The leading Zurich daily newspaper "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" is valued for its fine journalism on politics, science, business and arts and at the time had three issues a day. The outstanding and "top-heavy" poster for the Neue Zürcher Zeitung is a great Swiss poster classic from the late 1920s by the well-known Swiss master of poster design, Otto Baumberger, printed as a lithograph by the Wolfensberger printing company. The picture has its place in museum collections. This extremely rare poster is highly praised by avant-garde poster collectors. The typographically strong poster is a masterpiece by Baumberger, cleverly designed with the message that the three heads should stand for the claim to appear three times a day?
