This is an exceptionally rare original vintage poster, crafted by the esteemed Swedish master poster designer Anders Beckman during the wartime period to commemorate and support Norway's national day on the 17th of May, 1944, amidst the occupation by Nazi Germany. References to this poster can be found in Swedish newspapers from that era.
Notably, Anders Beckman also created a poster for The Norwegian Exhibition held in Sweden in 1943, aimed at fostering awareness of Norwegian culture and history in Sweden.
Rendered in dark blue hues, the poster features a Norwegian flag waving proudly over a mountain ridge, accompanied by bold red text proclaiming "17 Maj Norges Dag" (17th May Norway's Day).
Preserved in excellent condition, this poster stands as a poignant symbol of solidarity and remembrance during a tumultuous period in Nordic history.
