Description
Albert Gerrer Perpetual Advertising Calendar for Derby Sport, circa 1960.
It was in Albert Gerrer’s workshop in Mulhouse that the first calendars in vitrophanie were created.
The vitrophanie technique involves printing advertising under a pane of glass. Here, the glass is mounted on a small plastic box. Four “windows” show the day of the week, the day of the month (01 to 31) and the month, printed on strips of paper mounted on rollers. The display can be adjusted manually by means of four knobs on the sides.
A collector’s item with dynamic, colourful graphics.
The sports theme and the drawing of the stadium evoke the approach of the Olympic Games, a very topical subject.
Very careful packaging, insured for the value of the shipment.
