Hi Peter, excellent piece of research. As many others, I always wondered what the real story behind this poster was. I fully agree with your reasoning, you're making several valid points (print and paper quality, quote from a local celebrity, among others.) I think you're right and this poster was indeed created for an initial local run. It makes a lot of sense to run a small campaign, and THEN go nationwide and use NSS, but not the other way round. Well done!
