Geneva gallery

As the Geneva expo opens its doors for the 78th time, we take a look back at the adverts that have been used to draw in show-goers.

From the art deco Twenties, through the swinging Sixties and onto the present day, each piece reflects the era it comes from. Check out the controversial national flag line-up of 1939 and the bold laser-themed drawings of 1990.

Although they're intended as marketing material, some could almost be considered works of art. So take a look for yourself and see if you can find a favourite.
