Otto Baumberger 1889–1961 Fein-Kaller vintage poster
Caption Brief: Working with clothing-focused Object Posters was familiar territory for Baumberger. Take his 1920 advertisement for Bauman's top hats: much like the tweed overcoat he rendered for PKZ in 1923, it demonstrated his remarkable gift for capturing the realistic texture and detail of fine tailoring. Notably, the composition includes a glimpse of the head wearing one of these elegant hats, sourced from among Zurich's best milliners.
1930

J.C. Müller, Zurich
Provenance: Collection of William Crouse
