Product description
☕ Dallmayr-Kaffee – 1970s – Original A0 Poster [Germany]
“Give with love what you yourself love” — a West German holiday still life at retail scale
Offset lithograph | 119 × 84 cm | Germany
A rich cobalt-blue ground frames a festive still life: fir boughs, a waxy blue taper, straw star, and gilt bauble encircle an oval wooden box brimming with roasted coffee beans. The storied Munich brand’s name sits in a bold blackletter wordmark, while the upper-right line “Schenken Sie mit Liebe, was Sie selbst so lieben” ties the ritual of gifting to personal taste. Shot in saturated color and printed full bleed at A0, this was almost certainly conceived for a shop window or in-store promotion in postwar West Germany.
The composition fuses modern product photography with heritage cues—Alpine Christmas iconography and traditional Fraktur—to position Dallmayr as both contemporary and time-honored. At this impressive scale, the image reads across a street, but also rewards close viewing with tactile details of wax, straw, and polished wood.
✨ Why It Matters
Dallmayr ranks among Germany’s best-known coffee houses, rooted in Munich delicatessen culture. This seasonal poster captures a 1970s retail moment when color photography and offset lithography met brand tradition, making it a concise study in West German consumer aesthetics. A0 window pieces were ephemeral, often discarded after the holidays; surviving examples are sought by collectors of European F&B advertising, Christmas ephemera, and German typographic design. The copy’s evergreen psychology—gift what you yourself love—makes the piece resonate beyond its season, reinforcing provenance and display value.
