Vintage poster | Glass factory | Hand-drawn | 1931 | Framed
The advertising poster we present to you here is a valuable and intriguing finding from the past, exactly because its unfinished status points to it having been entirely hand-drawn.
The poster announces the establishing of the first glass factory in Bulgaria: “Crystal,”based in the city of Pernik. The year is 1931 and the factory helps multiple families make a living. Production is going well, and the employees are just happy that they can work together and bring something home after work. Hence why the poster proudly glorifies the factory.
Yet, the enterprise closes doors in 1998, when the then-director of “Bulgargas” suddenly stops supplying gas to the factory, without giving much detail as to why. The glass castle falls asleep forever.
“Crystal”’s history makes this poster an exceptionally dear memory from the past century, which is why we recommend it as a gift for those who hold onto a bittersweet memory, for current entrepreneurs who work in the same field, or for vintage memorabilia collectors. The colours and the writings are still as clear as a bright blue sky. We have also chosen an old-style wooden frame from high-quality materials, to go with the retro vibe of the poster.- • Size: 56.9 x 44 x 2 cm
