This delightful and whimsical travel poster from the 1960s was created by the artist Antoni to promote ski travel to Norway via DFDS Seaways. It's a charming example of Antoni’s signature style—playful, colorful, and imaginative.
The central image shows a large boot transformed into a ship, sailing over stylized waves. Atop the boot, a cheerful family bundled in winter clothes gazes ahead with excitement, skis in tow, clearly ready for an alpine adventure. A comical seagull perches on the boot’s animated wheel-like laces, adding a fun maritime twist.
The top of the poster bears the classic DFDS Seaways logo, reinforcing the ferry line’s role in transporting passengers to snowy getaways in Scandinavia.
Rendered in bold outlines and bright, flat colors, the illustration balances simplicity with joyful detail, instantly capturing the carefree spirit of 1960s travel advertising.
