ÖP - Östersunds-Posten 75 år

This original vintage Swedish poster from 1952, designed by Weman, was created to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Östersunds-Posten. The design is strikingly modern, featuring a deep black background contrasted with bold yellow typography arranged in a dynamic, angled layout. The text reads “I 75 år har Östersunds-Posten sett och hört åt Er,” emphasizing the newspaper’s long-standing role in observing and reporting for its readers.

A minimalist, symbolic eye motif appears in the upper right, rendered in simple white lines with a vivid red circle at its center. This graphic element reinforces the theme of vision, awareness, and journalism, suggesting both observation and insight. The composition is clean and highly effective, reflecting mid-century modern design principles with a strong focus on typography, contrast, and symbolism.

The poster captures the spirit of post-war Scandinavian graphic design, where clarity of message and bold visual identity were key. Weman’s use of limited color and expressive layout creates a powerful and memorable piece tied to the history of Swedish media.

In good condition with some light wear and signs of handling consistent with age. Displays well and would present nicely framed.
