Hubert Hilscher designed this wonderfully colourful Polish circus poster in 1979. It would have been displayed in towns and cities around the country to announce the imminent arrival of the State Circus. By making his zebra topsy turvy, Hilscher was able to share his opposition to Communist rule; the zebra, whilst appealing to look at, symbolised the state of the nation - which was also in disarray.

Polish B1 size: 66 x 96 cm

BUYING A VINTAGE POSTER

All of our vintage Polish posters are lovingly sourced from Poland and were the original editions commissioned by the Communist State to promote cultural events. Polish posters were printed in strictly limited runs to be displayed in town centres, theatres and cinemas - so any which survive have been lovingly rescued along the way.

For us, nothing comes close to the soulful charm of vintage Polish posters; the colours, the offset lithography, the matt paper. But please note, due to their age, many do bear marks of time.

We always do our best to describe any flaws, but if you have any questions at all about this vintage poster then get in touch and we’ll be happy to send you more info.
