Eidg. Schützenfest, 1963, by Fridolin Müller

This striking minimalist poster features a bold, black circular target dominating the lower half of the composition against a stark off-white background. Above the target, bright red sans-serif text announces the event: “Eidg. Schützenfest Zürich 24. Juli bis 12. August 1963,” translating to "Federal Shooting Festival Zurich, 24th July to 12th August 1963."

The Eidg. Schützenfest is a long-standing tradition in Switzerland, celebrating marksmanship as part of the country's cultural heritage. Fridolin Müller, a Swiss graphic designer born in 1926, was known for his contributions to the International Typographic Style, which prioritised simplicity, grid-based designs, and legibility.

We've carefully remastered this print to make it available for you to enjoy.

Schützenfest

The Schützenfest in Zurich, officially known as the Eidgenössisches Schützenfest, is a historic Swiss federal shooting festival organized by the Swiss Shooting Sport Federation (SSV). The tradition of such festivals dates back to the 14th century, with the first modern event held in 1824. Zurich has had the honor of hosting this prestigious event multiple times, including in 1834, 1869, 1907, 1920, 1963, and 2021. A unique aspect of the Schützenfest is the issuance of commemorative coins known as Schützentaler. First minted in 1842, these coins are renowned for their intricate designs and are highly sought after by collectors.
