Antwerp Zoo Polar Bear 1950 Large Advertising Poster

A polar bear strolls into Antwerp and steals the whole poster. Created for the city's zoo, this 1950 Belgian advertising design uses a huge white bear, cool blues and oversized lettering to make the message impossible to miss.

It is classic mid-century zoo graphics: playful, economical and brilliantly modern. The red ribbon-like flourish across the top adds just enough movement to the otherwise stripped-back composition.

This original poster is sized approx. 24 1/4 x 33 1/2 inches. It will be sent rolled (unframed).
