An Unfolded Swiss Special Poster (measures 35 1/2" x 50 1/2" [90 x 128 cm]) (Learn More) Das Buch Gehort in Deine Welt (literally translates to "The Book Belongs in Your World"), the 1963 Swiss poster encouraging people to read for the Swiss book weeks held from April 27th to May 11th. Note that this poster features Celestino Piatti art of an owl reading a book. Celestino Piatti was one of the most internationally known Swiss graphic artists. His visually and materially rich visual legacy is impressive. It includes book covers, paintings, lithographs, posters, illustrations, children's books and sculptures. His oeuvre has achieved outstanding fame through the more than 6000 book covers that he designed for Deutsche Taschenbuch Verlag from 1961 to the mid-1990s. In addition to posters and books, his works also included stamps for the Swiss post office, lithographs, woodcuts and linocuts, stained glass, murals and other paintings, ceramics and sculptures. A motif that runs through his entire work, is the owl, as a messenger of good luck or misfortune, or as a symbol of wisdom. The owl on this poster is inspired by his work with stained glass. Artist: Celestino Piatti Important Added Info: Please note that this is one of the first 226 items we are currently auctioning in this set of auctions are mostly non-movie posters (and most of them are from countries outside the U.S.). It occurred to us that it makes far more sense to auction these in our auction of "special posters" (which also includes lots of non-movie posters) than in our auctions of "oversized rolled" items that include many U.S. posters (like banners, 40x60s, etc). This item needs to be shipped in a tube over 30" (perhaps much longer). WHILE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS POSTER CAN BE COMBINED WITH THE 773 SPECIAL POSTERS THAT FOLLOWS THE FIRST 226, THERE ARE ALSO MANY CASES WHERE IT CAN NOT BE COMBINED. The main reason for this would be if you buy many of the regular posters and a small number of the very oversized ones. If they were combined, the very oversized one would surely become damaged, so in that case, it would need to go in its own tube, and please bear this in mind before bidding on this very oversized poster. Condition: good to very good. There is a tear at lower right that has been repaired with tape from the back. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
