1978 Tierpark Berlin (Pelican) - Original Vintage Poster

An elegant pelican sitting quietly by the water and cleaning its feathers.

The poster was made to encourage people in the former DDR to visit Tierpark Berlin.

The Tierpark (meaning "animal park") was founded 1955 in former East Berlin as Berlin Zoological Garden (located in West Berlin) became impassable for the residents of the former Eastern sector in DDR. There was made a huge effort to make zoo larger, more beautiful and with rarer animals than its western counterpart. Today the Tierpark with its 160 hectares is the largest of its kind in Europe. It has about 7,500 animals spread over more than 850 species.

Overall this is really great and hard-to-find East German poster with a fine look and a good history.
