This original vintage travel poster, from the 1938, promotes Budapest, Hungary, as a travel destination. The design features a striking black-and-white photograph of the iconic Danube River, a defining element of the city that divides it into the historic Buda and dynamic Pest districts. The illuminated riverbanks and bridges, including the Chain Bridge, convey a sense of elegance and the city's vibrancy at night. Framed by tree silhouettes in the foreground, the image creates depth and highlights Budapest's charm as a cultural and historical hub.
The poster also advertises the "XXXIV Congressus Eucharisticus Internationalis," an international Eucharistic Congress held in Budapest, adding to its historical significance. The 34th International Eucharistic Congress (XXXIV Congressus Eucharisticus Internationalis) was held in Budapest, Hungary from May 25-30, 1938. It was a significant event for both Hungary and the Catholic Church, occurring just before the outbreak of World War II.
The typography and layout reflect the timeless sophistication of early 20th-century European travel advertising.
The poster is in excellent condition and would make a stunning addition to any collection or display.
