A Swiss dealer convinced me to buy this, Robert Hardmeyer's Cock. I wasn't crazy about it at the time and really wanted an Agfa poster by Leupin but the dealer sold me with, "Hardmeyer is the birth of the Swiss poster."
I bought it when I was throwing money away like a paratrooper in a Panamanian whore house -- But looking at it today... and knowing its story...I feel like I saved it somehow -- My Cock in a starched white shirt.
It's not quite history...almost 110 years. But it's getting there. Still....it looks like someone just imagined it yesterday...
That's what I like about it.

Wasp101 has that poster hanging in his study.
That's the beauty of displaying a poster so different that no one else would hang or bother to comment upon.
But do try to find a copy of that Agfa poster, a true gem.
By the way, I think it's safe to say you're the only Panamanian paratrooper to ever have an interest in vintage post-war European product posters. But hey, I could be wrong.

Nothing beats a well-hung poster.
I love the Globus poster.
