This original vintage Swiss travel poster, issued in 1922 by Swiss Alpine Post, promotes automobile service over the breathtaking Swiss Alpine passes. Designed by renowned Swiss poster artist Emil Cardinaux (1877–1936), the artwork showcases a striking yellow Alpine Post Bus crossing a historic stone bridge over a rushing mountain river, surrounded by rugged alpine peaks and vibrant wildflowers. The poster highlights famous Swiss mountain passes, including Simplon, Grimsel, Furka, Gotthard, Klausen, and more.
The poster has some restorations and age wear, but it has been mounted on linen to preserve its original beauty. A rare and collectible piece, it remains a stunning representation of early 20th-century Swiss travel advertising.
