Taking place from July 18 to 27, the event was part of a decades-long tradition dating back to the interwar period, where regional cities like Szeged hosted exhibitions to spotlight manufacturing, agricultural innovation, and economic self-reliance. By the 1960s, under socialist Hungary, these fairs had become state-organized showcases for national industry, technical advancement, and trade diplomacy. The fair functioned as both a commercial platform and a political message. It promoted domestic production and technological development while quietly signaling openness to foreign partnerships from within the Eastern Bloc and select neutral countries. For cities like Szeged, it brought visibility, tourism, and a burst of international attention to local infrastructure and progress. The poster designed by Gyozo Szilas reflects that spirit...no excess, no slogans, just pure graphic precision. Red, white, and green nod to the national flag, while the geometric grid echoes both the structure of a fairground and the ideological emphasis on order and control. It’s modernist, mathematical, and unmistakably Hungarian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Size\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27.0\" x 18.75\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Artist\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gyozo Szilas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Condition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
