In 1923 Otto Morach designed another Art Deco poster for the Welti-Furrer taxi company. The visual rendering of the commercial message is singularly effective. Morach successfully accomplished the task of combining Zurich’s Grossmünster, the bridges, the black taxis and the telephone number 11.11 into a harmonious whole. Rare.
