Because they weren't available to the public, they are exceptionally rare and mostly exist in museums and in prominent collections. This poster highlights designer Liisa Suvanto (1910-1983) and her artistic contributions to Marimekko. Suvanto worked at Marimekko from 1960-1975 and, especially in the 1970s, also designed clothes in printed cotton fabrics.

In good condition with light wear consistent with age. Two are available: one with Marimekko lettering across bottom, one without that lettering.
