This is a striking original Austrian travel poster from the 1950s, showcasing the stunning alpine landscape of Tyrol, with a breathtaking view of the Stubai Alps. The scene is centered around the Dresdner Hütte, a historic mountain refuge located at 2,308 meters, with the majestic Schaufelspitze rising in the background.
The atmospheric black-and-white photograph by Adolf Sückert captures two skiers preparing to head into the snowy wilderness, evoking a timeless sense of alpine adventure and tranquility. The bold "Tyrol" typography below complements the strong visual impact of the image, making it both a compelling piece of travel history and a stylish piece of design.
Printed by Tiroler Graphik, Innsbruck, the poster is in good vintage condition, with some expected signs of age: minor margin wear and a small piece missing from the upper right corner. These do not detract from its visual appeal and it would display beautifully when framed.
An evocative and collectible example of mid-century alpine tourism promotion, perfect for lovers of skiing, photography, and classic European travel design.
