Auction History Result 5z088 WEBER 36x51 Swiss special poster 1956 featuring Alfred Koella art, burning cigar! Date Sold 4/26/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Unfolded Swiss Special Poster (measures 35 1/2" x 50 1/2" [90 x 128 cm]) (Learn More) Weber, the Swiss advertising poster promoting Weber tobacco products and featuring an image of the available items. Note that in 1838 Samuel Weber opened a cigar and pipe tobacco factory in the town of Menziken, Switzerland which lead to the cigar industry dominating the region. Artist: Alfred Koella Important Added Info: The term Sachplakat, or Object Poster, was coined in Germany around 1905 to describe a new type of poster which featured a realistic depiction of the product and little else. The craze for this poster type continued in Switzerland, where the passion for precision in printing and drawing technique was unsurpassed. Shortly after, the iconic beauty of the everyday object became the mission of a group of artists in Basel, who made the Sachplakat the leading Swiss style in the '40s and early '50s. Often laced with humor and of stunning visual impact, these posters represent the last great period of the lithographic poster, which high cost and long production cycles was soon to eliminate. 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: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
