Mural of a "Kwatta-soldier", a collectible rubber toy soldier with flexible limbs that was popular in the Netherlands during the 50s and 60s

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Mural by Frau Isa titled "All eyes are on Kwatta". The phrase is both a (somewhat antiquated) Dutch saying, and a commercial slogan of a chocolate factory that used to be located in Breda. The chocolate bar wrappers used to depict soldiers which could be handed in for a free chocolate bar, or a rubber toy soldier with bendy limbs. These toy soldiers were incredibly popular with children in the Netherlands during the 50's and 60's. The mural depicts one such "Kwatta-soldier".
Nederlands: Muurschildering van Frau Isa getiteld "Alle ogen zijn gericht op Kwatta" (of "Aller oogen zijn gericht op Kwatta"). De uitdrukking is zowel een (ietwat verouderde) Nederlands gezegde, als een commerciële slogan van een chocoladefabriek die vroeger in Breda was gevestigd. Op de wikkels van de chocoladerepen stonden soldaten die konden worden ingeleverd voor een gratis chocoladereep, of een rubberen speelgoedsoldaatje met buigzame ledematen. Deze speelgoedsoldaatjes waren in de jaren 50 en 60 enorm populair bij kinderen in Nederland. Op deze muurschildering is zo'n "Kwatta soldaatje" afgebeeld.
