This design was awarded first prize in the poster competition for the fair in 1938. Joseph Binder studied at the Vienna School of Applied Arts under the great Secessionist, Alfred Roller. He immigrated to America in the mid-1930s, where he created campaigns for United Airlines and the American Red Cross. He designed covers for Fortune and Graphis magazines, and in 1948, was appointed Art Director and Designer for the U.S. Navy. This is the larger format.
