Norway the Cradle of Skiing 1951

This wonderful and highly sought-after original 1951 ski travel poster by Norwegian design master Knut Yran captures the soul of Norway's skiing heritage with charm and wit. A stylized red cradle adorned with traditional rosemaling cradles a smiling child, skis and poles in hand, floating against a snowy mountain backdrop. A clever and enduring image that reinforces Norway as “The Cradle of Skiing.”

A true icon of Scandinavian poster design — vibrant, playful, and deeply rooted in cultural identity — this is a standout collector’s piece for fans of skiing, mid-century travel art, or Nordic design.
