Schoop designed a small handful of posters that range in style from the appearance of works by Burkhard Mangold to more simple and straightforward Art Deco representation. This poster, for a rug and fabric store, combines a vivid Art Deco image with a sophisticated layout and is one of his best designs. He was also a painter who is very well regarded for his wildlife watercolors. Das Plakat in der Schweiz p. 259.
