Mono Card No. 20 “Noah Plants the Vine”, illustration by C. Fahringer. The front shows Noah, an elderly bearded man, planting a vine and surrounded by symbolic animals. The image, in black and green, has a simple, engraving-like style. On the reverse, a text that is both humorous and moral reflects on wine and moderation, and ends with an advertisement for the merchant K. Frey (Schaffhausen).
Mono cards were small collectible advertisements, printed in lithography on strong paper, distributed by companies.
Our work consists in safekeeping the artistic heritage of advertising that we consider as a sociological trace of the twentieth century civilization.
