This rare and striking original vintage travel poster from the 1930s promotes Oslo, Norway, as a summer travel destination with the slogan "Sommerbyen Oslo." Designed by the acclaimed artist Niels Røhder, this piece was issued by the Norwegian State Railways and the "Reisetrafikkforening for Oslo og Omegn."
The poster elegantly features a blonde young woman by the water, surrounded by sailboats and ships on the fjord, with the Oslo city skyline and nearby mountains as a backdrop. In the distance, you can see City Hall and Akershus Fortress and Castle. The sky is painted in rich yellow hues, adding to the scene's charm and allure.
Known for his movie posters, Niels Røhder's travel posters are exceptionally rare.
In excellent condition, this poster is a true gem and would look stunning framed on any wall, serving as a captivating conservation piece.
