Zurich.
Condition A.
Emil and his brother Fred opened up a design
studio in Paris but returned to work in their
native Switzerland before the Second World
War. Both designed a small handful of posters.
Emil was a type designer, and several of his
posters for PKZ reflect his love of letters. But as
this image shows, he was also a talented drafts-
man.
