A stunning and exceptionally rare Art Deco travel poster promoting Klosters, the chic alpine resort near Davos, Switzerland. Created in 1926 by the Swiss artist Edward Stiefel, this vibrant composition captures the elegance and energy of summer recreation in the Swiss Alps.
Set against a breathtaking mountain backdrop, the scene features fashionable vacationers enjoying tennis, swimming, and boating — a perfect portrayal of Klosters as a destination for sport, leisure, and style at 4000 feet above sea level.
Edward Stiefel, a noted painter, muralist, and book illustrator, was known for his vivid landscapes and refined compositions. This work reflects his mastery of both form and atmosphere, and stands as a striking example of 1920s Swiss graphic design.
Printed by Fretz Bros. Ltd. Zurich, this original poster is a prized piece of Art Deco travel art — ideal for collectors and connoisseurs of vintage alpine style. In very good condition with minor restoration. Conserved and mounted on linen. Looks stunning.
