This vintage poster is an authentic creation for the 1927 Exhibition "Industri och hantverksutställningen" in Karlstad.
Despite the absence of proper credit, historical documentation from the Swedish newspaper "Svenska Dagbladet" in 1927 links the design of the poster to Oscar Jonsson. This artwork portrays a delightful depiction of Karlstad, celebrated as the city of sunshine. The poster captures the charm of the area with a luminous sun casting a golden glow upon a church and the distinctive towers, which have represented Karlstad's coat of arms since 1949.
Despite exhibiting signs of age-related wear, including paper loss at the upper margin, folds, and tears along the edges, the poster remarkably retains its vibrant colors. It stands as a valuable testament to the artistic and cultural richness showcased at the 1927 Karlstad Exhibition, offering a captivating glimpse into the historical significance of the event.
