This is an original, authentic poster likely issued in the early 1930s by Bonnier to promote the "Verner von Heidenstam Jubileumsupplaga."
Carl Gustaf Verner von Heidenstam was a distinguished Swedish writer and poet, celebrated for his contributions to literature. He served as a member of the Swedish Academy from 1912 to 1940 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1916.
Verner von Heidenstam made his literary debut in 1888 with a collection of poems that diverged from the dominant Swedish literary traditions of realism and naturalism, embracing instead romanticism, individualism, and sensualism. His innovative approach inspired many Swedish writers of the 1890s and subsequent years. As the foremost advocate of these "90s artists," Heidenstam's works are rich with national and historical themes.
The poster is in good condition, with some wear, tears, and a small hole, but it would look striking when framed.
