50 3/4x34 3/4 inches, 129x88 1/4 cm. Wolfensberger, Zurich.
Condition B+: repaired tears, foxing and discoloration in margins; creases and minor abrasions in image; light tape stain at top edge. Mounted on Japan.
One of three posters Hohlwein designed for the Swiss men's store PKZ.

This with an unusual overprint of the store's address. DFP-III 1396, not in Hohlwein / Stuttgart.
