Escher, M. C.
Poster, Grafiek en Tekeningen.
Zwolle, Erven Tijl, 1968. Poster (60.0 x 37.5 cm). Offset print in black and green.
Vintage window poster, announcing a catalogue, Grafiek en Tekeningen with work from the world-famous Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972). This poster for bookshops states "Met 82 afb. hier verkrijgbaar" (with 82 ill.[ustrations], available here). Apparently, there were two varieties of this poster. This is the 'portrait' variety showing part of Escher's Kringloop (Cycle), a 'classic' Escher, made in 1938 (Bool 305). Published during Escher's lifetime, this poster design, therefore, most probably personally approved by him. A weak, vertical fold, otherwise a very good, clean copy.
