Introducing an original vintage travel poster from 1930, designed by Hongell and Forsström, promoting Helsinki, Finland as a travel destination with the text "Helsinki Helsingfors - Finlands Huvudstad."
This captivating poster, one of several designed by Hongell and Forsström, showcases the picturesque harbor featuring a steamship and tall ship. Across the water, the iconic Helsinki Cathedral stands against a blue sky adorned with two seagulls.
Mounted on linen, the poster is in good condition, bearing signs of age wear, pinholes, and discoloration. Despite these elements, it retains its vintage charm and serves as a visual journey to the historic allure of Helsinki in 1930.
