Early 20th-Century Carl Hagenbeck's Tierpark Stellingen Giraffe Poster

Carl Hagenbeck's Tierpark Stellingen Giraffe Poster is a period advertising poster for Carl Hagenbeck's pioneering zoo in Stellingen, near Hamburg, Germany, its bold lettering wrapped around the sinuous neck of a giraffe. Hagenbeck's Tierpark, opened in 1907, was the first zoo to display animals in open, naturalistic enclosures rather than cages, a design approach that reshaped zoo architecture worldwide.
