This a wonderful original vintage poster from 1968 promoting Oslo as a winter destination.
The venue of the photo is The Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, a famous tourist attraction, but normally more tourists during summer than winter. The photo shows some local kids in winter outfits from the time posing beside the human obelisk. The Obelisk is one of 200 works of art created by sculptor Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943). The white granite column called the "Monolith" consists of a series of intertwining human bodies.
A rare poster to find. This is the German version.
