This is a somewhat conflicting design for the anti-totalitarian Colin, who somehow wound up creating this advertisement for a Portuguese exposition in Geneva during the dictatorial reign of António de Oliveira Salazar. Apparently, Salazar had admirers in Switzerland, and thus the leader’s personal friend and new state propagandist, António Ferro, organized this event. Politics aside, Colin created a vibrant image that combines natural beauty with architecture and engineering. Rare!
