Tram poster for a theatre play 'Marriage of convenience' by Mátyás Csizmarek, Jenő Semsei, László Nádassi. The premiere of the play was in 1959, June 12. The poster shows a couple sitting on a heart and a snake is sneaking up between them. This image probably sums up what the play was about. It was staged in József Attila theater in 1959. The design is lovely, made in the typical cartoon style of the 1960s.
