This charming original vintage poster was issued by the Finnish State Railways (VR) and designed by renowned Finnish artist Osmo K. Oksanen. Likely produced in the late 1950s, the poster promotes circular train journeys ("Ringresor") and encourages travelers to explore Finland via an extensive and scenic railway network.
The illustration features a delightful young boy wearing green shorts, a striped sailor shirt, and red shoes, confidently striding forward with a suitcase covered in luggage labels—Koli Heights, Punkaharju, Pohjanhovi, and others. He balances an umbrella over his shoulder and wears toy train cars slung across his chest like a bandolier—an imaginative, whimsical nod to the railway theme. In the background, the iconic tower of Helsinki Central Station rises in soft silhouette, grounding the image in a recognizable national landmark.
