About this poster

This classic, rare stone lithograph from the early 20th century was designed by the famous and talented Zurich poster artist Otto Baumberger.

This original poster from the golden age of Swiss poster advertising was lithographed in 1916 at Wolfensberger and is an absolute rarity.
