Description: Very cool original Container Corporation of America 1960's poster. This is not a reproduction, it is a pretty big poster measuring 50" tall by 35" wide. This came in a collection I recently purchased from an auction, The other posters shown in the listing are just to show what else came with this poster when I bought it and arent included in this sale. Very cool early modern graphic design and typography. "After World War II, Chicago faced economic trouble and suburbanization led to demographic shifts that civic leaders found problematic. In the early 1960s, the city responded by launching a number of campaigns that called on the talents of professional designers to attract people to and stimulate commerce in the city’s downtown. John Massey, then director of design, advertising and public relations at the Container Corporation of America, led the Cultural Communication Project, as it became known, with the aim of bringing attention to the city’s rich cultural landscape. A diverse group of designers, including Massey and fellow CCA colleagues John Rieben and William Lloyd, produced sixteen distinct posters that were to be displayed in public plazas and the lobbies of museums, businesses, airports and universities in Chicago’s Loop and elsewhere around the city. " This poster and the others that came with it are all part of what is being talked about above, there is more information about this online. Very cool piece of design history. This poster is in excellent condition with only minor wear to some of the edges I would grade it as A-. .CLST
