A rare original Swiss travel poster depicting a shepherd with his herd in the Bernina Range in the Swiss Alps. A wonderful mountain scene accompanied with the text: Peace among the mountains.
A rare poster and even more rare Scandinavian text version.
Printed with a poem by Lord Byron in Swedish:
Over mig synas alperna,
Naturen palats, vilkas vldiga murar
Ur molnen utskuris sina snoiga tinnar
The English original text:
Above me are the Alps,
The Palaces of Nature, whose vast walls
Have pinnacled in clouds their snowy scalps,
