This atmospheric original travel poster for Stockholm was designed by Swedish artist and book illustrator Yngve Berg and published by the Swedish Traffic Association during the 1920s.
The poster presents a tranquil view of the city with the Royal Palace reflected in the calm waters of Stockholm's harbor. In the foreground, traditional fishing nets and a small rowing boat emphasize the close relationship between the Swedish capital and its waterways. Berg's soft palette and painterly style create a poetic and distinctly Scandinavian atmosphere, capturing the elegance and serenity for which Stockholm has long been admired.
Unlike many travel posters of the period that focused on grand monuments or dramatic scenery, this design offers a more intimate portrait of the city, highlighting its maritime character and quiet beauty.
Condition: Professionally mounted on linen. Minor tears and creases, four repaired punch holes along the upper edge, and small needle holes in the corners. Overall presents very well.
