This authentic 1950s Swedish travel poster was issued by the Swedish Tourist Traffic Association to promote northern Sweden, specifically the breathtaking landscapes of Abisko.
The striking black-and-white photograph, taken by Henry Blomberg, captures the dramatic flow of the Abiskojåkka river set against the rugged mountains of Abisko National Park. Located in Kiruna Municipality, Abisko is celebrated for its pristine natural beauty, midnight sun, and northern lights — a destination that has long captivated nature lovers and adventurers alike.
Printed by Esselte AB, Stockholm, this poster is a beautiful example of Scandinavian travel advertising from the mid-20th century. Its minimalist design, with bold red typography spelling SWEDEN, enhances the impact of the photograph and evokes the allure of untouched wilderness.
The poster is in very good condition, with only minimal signs of age. Its powerful composition would make a stunning framed centerpiece and is a must-have for collectors of vintage travel posters, Scandinavian photography, and Nordic tourism history.
