This is a stunning original vintage cruise line poster issued by Norddeutscher Lloyd Bremen. A very early travel poster promoting cruises to the Norwegian cost and north of Norway to see the fjords and the Sami people.
This rendering by Amtsberg depicts a native Sami with a reindeer from his herd.
The mountain Sami who came down to the coast with their flocks in the summer quickly became a tourist attraction. The NDL used this design to attract cruise tourists. The meeting with the natives made the travel program extra exotic.
In excellent condition. Mounted on Japan paper. A very hard poster to find.
