Description

Mid-Century Modern Aesop Poster – “When the Great Help the Small”

Striking mid-century modern poster featuring a whimsical interpretation of Aesop’s timeless moral. The bold graphic design depicts two stylized birds—one large, one small—working together to overcome an obstacle, with the quote, “When the great help the small, both are saved,” printed below. Rendered in flat tones of vivid orange, yellow, and blue, the artwork is set against a dynamic polka dot background, reminiscent of pop art and 1960s–70s educational design. Likely produced as part of a school or public service campaign, the piece reflects both the era’s graphic sensibility and its emphasis on moral education. A rare and vibrant collectible for lovers of vintage illustration, children's media, or design history.


Condition:
In good condition overall, with pinholes visible at the corners. The image and colors remain vibrant, and the wear does not detract from its visual appeal. Please refer to photos for details.
