EPPO DOEVE

Eppo Doeve, 1907-1981, was a painter, graphic artist and illustrator. Born in the Dutch West Indies (now Indonesia), he moved to the Netherlands in 1927. Here are some ad posters from the post-war years.

These were commissioned by the Artis Zoo in Amsterdam. C and I visited there one v chilly New Year's day. We had a light breakfast in the zoo cafe and watched as the giraffes were having theirs.

 

A classic ad for Amsterdam's famous son-Heineken beer.
