Title: November 2014
Post by: Harry Caul on November 07, 2014, 01:14:26 AM: I don't usually collect many advertising posers, but I couldn't pass up these Hungarians.... and interesting juxtaposition if nothing else.

Post by: monocle on November 15, 2014, 08:59:24 PM: I found some museum archive records in Austria and Germany and 1937 seems to be the date in question. I'd been after this particular image for about a decade and couldn't believe my luck when one finally turned up deep inside Eastern Europe. I was initially unsure about buying sight unseen - especially as it was from a private individual rather than an auction house - but it is absolutely 100% pukka. Pleased as punch!

Lovely Philips poster by the way - very ethereal.

It looks to be be in great condition, too!

cheers

Maybe you should have outed it to the forum first. I'm sure that you wouldn't have paid more...

Now that is funny. Quite made my breakfast! But I'll kindly pass on that suggestion...

Actually Jeff it all made sense. The chap who had it was based in what used to be part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I'm sure that visits to the Imperial city would have de rigueur for the well-to-do and indeed those with large businesses, hence the poster surviving it's time there.
