Overview

A clever and surrealist graphic poster that utilizes the form of a Canada goose to create a 'No Smoking' symbol.

Story

In 1979, the American social landscape was shifting as the anti-smoking movement began to move from medical journals into the public consciousness.

Maker / Origin

Dave Funk was a prominent graphic designer in the Pacific Northwest, known for his work with Outright Graphics in Eugene.

Condition & Value

The poster shows significant water staining and foxing along the bottom edge, which has likely been exacerbated by the clip-frame mounting. While a clever piece of regional design, the value is tempered by the visible condition issues.
