This original vintage Swiss travel poster from the 1950s, titled "Automne en Suisse - Autumn in Switzerland," was designed by Richard Gerbig, a Swiss artist known for his work on travel posters during the 1950s, although little else is known about him.
The poster depicts a picturesque autumn scene featuring the harvest of wine grapes, with a winding road leading down to a Swiss lake surrounded by towering mountain peaks and a lake steamer. Its charming imagery would complement the décor of a Swiss ski chalet or lodge beautifully.
According to the Swiss National Library, this poster dates back to around 1950. While it shows some signs of margin wear and aging, it remains in good condition overall.
