Ghent Belgium

This stunning original vintage travel poster, created in 1949 by artist Herman Verbaere, showcases the iconic Belfry of Ghent (Het Belfort van Gent) — a proud symbol of the city's rich medieval heritage.

Towering over the heart of Ghent, the Belfry is the tallest in Belgium and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for its Gothic architecture and historic significance. In the background, the majestic silhouette of Saint Bavo’s Cathedral adds depth to the scene, completing the trio of towers that define Ghent’s skyline.

Rendered in bold sunlight with meticulous detail, the poster captures the grandeur and elegance of this architectural landmark. Issued in 1949 and printed by Collier N.V. in Ghent, it promotes the city with the tagline:
“Ghent, Belgium – The City of Flowers and Monuments.”

In excellent condition, this piece remains a beautiful and timeless tribute to one of Belgium’s most historic cities.
