Original Swiss Vintage Travel Poster using a photograph by Werner Bischof, which advertised St. Moritz as a summer sports center and spa resort in 1939, featuring a young lady in local traditional dress in front of Lake St. Moritz, emphasizing love of one’s homeland rather than the avant-garde as had been the case just a few years earlier with Walter Herdeg’s posters – a nod to intellectual national defence.
