Modernist Poster Theo Ballmer Uhu Fabric. Original vintage advertising poster for Uhu-Line featuring a fun design by the notable Swiss Modernist graphic designer Theo Balmer (1902-1965) of a character standing on a tube of Uhu-Line, holding an unplugged electric iron in one hand with the other hand hidden under an oversized white shirt against a blue background, the text in German below reading: even one teaspoon works wonders on the laundry / schon 1 Teeloffel wirkt Wunder auf die Wasche. Developed in the 1950s by the German manufacturer of glues and adhesives, Uhu-Line was invented to keep fabric and collars stiff to make them practically as "new from the shop" after cleaning. Large size. Very good condition, folds, minor creasing on edge. Country of issue: Switzerland, designer: Theo Ballmer, size (cm): 119x84, year of printing: 1953.
