Tierpark Berlin

This charming promotional poster for the Tierpark Berlin-Friedrichsfelde captures the spirit of East Berlin's beloved zoo through warm, naturalistic animal portraits. The composition showcases an engaging menagerie: shaggy Highland cattle with their distinctive horns, a dignified llama, spirited goats with impressive curved horns, a striped Mangalitza piglet, and a proud rooster, all rendered in soft earth tones against pastoral green backgrounds. Established in 1955 on the grounds of Friedrichsfelde Palace, the Tierpark became East Germany's premier zoological institution, emphasizing both exotic species and traditional European livestock breeds. This poster reflects the zoo's educational mission while demonstrating the high quality of East German graphic design during the Cold War era. A distinctive example of GDR institutional promotion, this piece appeals to collectors of zoo ephemera, animal illustration, and Cold War-era European graphics. The pink border and dynamic multi-vignette composition give it both period charm and contemporary wall appeal. Size: 32.0" x 23.0" Condition: Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning. Light creasing in lower left and upper right border. Please use the photo zoom feature to get a better understanding of overall condition. *Additional photos available upon request.
