A great original vintage poster designed by master Anders Beckman to promote the Falun Mine as a tourist attraction. Falun Mine was a mine in Falun, Sweden, that operated for a millennium from the 10th century to 1992. It produced as much as two thirds of Europe's copper needs and helped fund many of Sweden's wars in the 17th century. Technological developments at the mine had a profound influence on mining globally for two centuries. The mine is now a museum and in 2001 was designated a UNESCO world heritage site.
A rare original vintage poster in very good condition. Ready to be framed.
