Artist: Hubert Hilscher (1924-1999) was one of the most colourful and amusing graphic designers of the so-called Polish School of Posters. He was born in a polonised family of German origin. As a soldier of the Home Army, he fought in the Warsaw Uprising. Originally it seemed he would become an architect, since he finished a high school for construction trades. But in 1949 he started attending the State Academic School of Plastic Arts, since he was interested in printing. When he was in his second year, the school was merged with the Academy of Fine Arts. He studied under Tadeusz Kulisiewicz and graduated in 1955.

Description: Excellent near-mint condition poster. Artist and copyright information in lower left margin.
