Description:

Decorative tram poster to promote kitchenware as good Christmas gifts. According to the text on the advertisment 'useful and pretty kitchenware: pots, cutlery, household applieances were available in the shops and state department stores'.

The composition is quite humorous. Santa Claus is walking, holdin his donkey on a leash, while the donkey is so packed with presents that he hardly can walk. This is the opposite of the classic Christmas pictures where Santa Claus is sitting on a slide pulled by a raindeer and his basket is full of gifts. This gives a special essence to the poster, where the snowflakes are irregular random shapes and in the background the silhouettes of two pinetrees add to the Christmas atmosphere.
