Two decades after he pioneered the style, Stoecklin revisited his hyperrealist New Objectivity. This poster was commissioned by the Swiss egg industry in an effort to counteract the increased sales of imported eggs. This is the rare French version. The poster usually appears with the Swiss German salutation, "E Gúete!" Stoecklin 111, p. 51, Swiss Graphic Design p. 11.
