This is a cool Finnish ski poster where the whole family sets out for that wonderful skiing-holiday. A sure mark of a growing middle-class in Europe and Germany after the war.
The designer Rolf Christianson started work as a lithography student at Tilgmann’s publishing house. Christianson established himself as an independent graphic designer in 1951. During the same time he also designed the certificates which were to be used at the Olympic Games in Helsinki the following year.
In good condition with some tears at bottom and right edges; skinning on verso and top corners.
A hard poster to find!
