Zoo Tel-Aviv. ca. 1940.
In an excellent example of photomontage, this poster features a rhinoceros and two curious children to promote the Tel Aviv Zoo. The zoo was once located in the center of the city behind City Hall; however, after numerous complaints by residents, the animals were moved to the Zoological Center of the Tel Aviv-Ramat Gan just outside the city. Today, a shopping mall sits in the old zoo’s location.
