Beschreibung:

LIBRA STUDIO PAYS-BAS. Group of 6 posters. 1948. 43x311/4 inches. Kühn en Zoon, Rotterdam. Condition varies, generally B+: some staining along vertical and horizontal folds; creases in margins; pinholes in corners and margins. Paper. This series was published by the Dutch Economic Information Service for use abroad. It was designed by a studio on which no information was found, but that was clearly a leader in Dutch advertising at the time. Sixteen of their works are reproduced in the International Poster Annual 1948/1949 , edited by Walter Allner under the supervision of Cassandre, including some for major companies like Philips. Reflecting all the aspects of Dutch talent, each poster in this group is designed with an Art-Deco graphic style and photomontage in a strictly organized frame. The country name at the top, the image in the center and a slightly asymetric, typographic line at the bottom create are an extremely clean job. Zollikofer, p. 18-19 no's 15, 16, 17, 18.
