A Paperbacked Swiss Advertising Poster (measures 35 1/4" x 50 3/4" [90 x 129 cm]) (Learn More) Sursee-Oefen (literally translates to "Sursee Furnaces"), the 1927 Swiss advertising poster (with a tagline that translates to "The professional says Sursee furnaces guarantee quality") promoting the purchase of furnaces, and featuring Carl Scherer art of a chimney sweep. Sursee is a municipality in the district of Sursee in the canton of Lucerne, Switzerland. The industrialization of the 19th century largely bypassed the landscape of Lucerne, but an exception was the furnace/stove factory in Sursee. In 1872, the young stove maker Franz Xaver Weltert from Buron started producing portable Calorifere stoves. The demand was great and a factory to increase production was built around 1875. After initial teething problems, the company began its ascent to become the largest furnace/stove factory in Switzerland, with more than 200 employees, and the only furnace/stove factory that included every single branch of production on site. Artist: Carl Scherer Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had a 3" tear in the center of the bottom border, and an irregular 20" tear starting in the top border and running across to the green structure and some small tears and creases around the edges. It also had a fold across the middle. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, with no excess paper around the edges, but rough handling has resulted in the horizontal fold returning, so it is noticeable. Learn More about condition grades
