Eliezer Weishoff designed this poster to advertise the type of an event commonplace in Israel - a meeting that brings groups from outside the country to meet and mingle with Israelis. This one held in 1965 was for youths who came from cities in Israel and elsewhere that had been twinned together. The style of the poster is reminiscent of designs brought by Abram Games to Israel when he worked with the Israel Postal Authority in the mid-50s, and is quite different from Weishoff's later posters. A large gold key, presumably of welcome, with black outline (a device used by Rouault and German expressionists) floats on a royal blue background. Sans serif lettering in French, English and Hebrew announces the get together and its date. The poster is in fine condition with one small repaired tear on right edge and small in-painted areas on gold of the key near top of poster.
