This wonderful original travel poster promotes Gothenburg as a travel destination. The rendering probably depicts the Bohus Fortress just outside Gothenburg.
Since its foundation in 1308, Bohus has been besieged 14 times by Swedes, Norwegians and Danes – a Nordic record – but the fortress has never been conquered. Bohus remained impregnable and the motivation is to be searched in an old legend about a dog dragging the first stone of the building.
Mounted on linen.
