Description:

Spectacular commercial poster from the late 1950's. The poster was published for export purposes, that is why it doesn't show the typical socialist realist manner of the age.

This poster was only presented abroad. The Hungarian government put a special emphasis on promoting Hungarian products outside the country. For this goal, they ordered  artistic and modern poster designs, which differed very much from the socialist realist posters that were in use at home. We can not surely say, in which year the poster was made. (On the export posters isn't usually date and publishing information).

The poster is very decorative because of the strong colors, and the harmony of the forms. It is also a special memory from the history of the famous Tungsram factory.
