Advertising KLM’s freight / cargo service, by which “flowers and fruit can be sent the same day to all
European destinations.” The artist cleverly turns the small streets of Amsterdam into a play on
perspective into which he interlaces the typography. In attempting to date this poster we notice that
the KLM offices and phone numbers listed were all in existence by at least 1928.
