This striking 1913 Swiss original travel poster showcases the Stanserhorn mountain in the canton of Nidwalden, Switzerland, with its peak reaching 1,898 meters (6,227 ft). The image features a vibrant depiction of the mountain bathed in warm light, with silhouettes of travelers observing the view from the summit. The Stanserhorn railway and the Hotel Stanserhorn Kulm, both historic landmarks opened in 1893 by pioneers Franz Josef Bucher-Durrer and Josef Durrer-Gasser, are also prominently highlighted.
The typography and composition exemplify early 20th-century design aesthetics, making this antique travel poster a timeless representation of Swiss tourism. It remains in excellent condition and is ready to be framed.
