This vintage poster is an original piece from the Swedish Tourist Association, created to promote the 1928 yearbook. Published annually between 1886 and 2013 by the Swedish Tourist Association, these yearbooks typically centered around different tourism-related themes each year.
The poster showcases a map of Värmland County (Swedish: Värmlands län), a county in west-central Sweden. It shares borders with the Swedish counties of Dalarna, Örebro, and Västra Götaland, as well as the Norwegian counties of Viken and Innlandet to the west. Prince Carl Philip holds the title of Duke of Värmland.
The text on the poster reads: "The Swedish Tourist Association aims to acquaint Swedes with their own country alongside labels of Norge, Dalarna, Västmanland, Arvika, Filipstad, Karlstad, Kristinehamn, Närke, Dalsland, Vänern."
Despite some minor wear, small tears and light fold marks, it remains in good condition, making it a noteworthy piece for collectors.
