Zoologischer Garten in Basel
circa 1900
Step right up to the Basel Zoo with this charming vintage poster from around 1900! A massive elephant dominates the scene, standing patiently before a group of wide-eyed visitors, including a woman in a massive red hat and several children in bonnets. The bold typography promises a 'rich collection of living animals' and a beautiful park with waterfalls, capturing the excitement of a family day out. The exotic, domed architecture in the background hints at the global adventures awaiting visitors in Switzerland's oldest zoo.
