There are top corner and edge staple holes as well as some surface scratches and abrasions near the top edge; some light foxing spots in image; this gorgeous art deco Swiss travel poster should display beautifully once framed.
This poster advertises Wengen, the car-free resort village in the Jungfrau region of the Swiss Alps. A smiling young woman in a bright orange dress stands in a meadow of wildflowers, holding a round sign with "WENGEN" in bold black letters. Behind her rise snow-covered peaks painted in strong blues and whites. Its painterly brushwork and confident lettering make it a strong example of the golden age of Swiss travel posters, and it will appeal to collectors of Alpine, ski and travel art.
