Poster For Bono's German Democracy Album

It has been Bono's plan all along to be the elected king-for-life of a unified Europe. And for a brief moment there in 1991, when the Berlin Wall fell, it looked like he'd have his chance. U2 brought in Brian Eno to write a new EU anthem, and legendary Ikea bib designer Hans Hartmann to be their Minister of Propaganda.

From the International Vintage Poster Dealers Show's asymmetrically titled exhibition, "Posters With Children: From Victorian To Skateboards," comes this extraordinarily rare mockup poster for the album that has still not been finished.
