Condition A: unobtrusive vertical and horizontal folds.
Two decades after he pioneered the style, Stoecklin revisited his hyperrealist New Objectivity. This
poster was commissioned by the Swiss egg industry in an effort to counteract the increased sales of
imported eggs. This is the
RARE
French version. The poster usually appears with the Swiss German
salutation, “E Gúete!” Stoecklin 111, p. 51, Swiss Graphic Design p. 11.
