A steamboat pulls up to port in Lake Lucerne in this charming image by Alois Carigiet. The towering Alps play cheerful backdrop as lofty clouds drift by. This bilingual travel poster was printed by the Swiss National Tourist Bureau in 1945 to promote travel to the Central region of the country. It was likely printed in both English and French to appeal to travelers from both nations, during a time of renewed travel after the end of WWII.

Alois Carigiet (1902-1985) was a Swiss illustrator and graphic designer best known for his children's book illustrations. His style is loosely influenced by Fauvism and Expressionism.

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
