Germany The Rhine

This captivating original vintage German travel poster from the 1930s celebrates the Rhine River, famously described as “The most beautiful river of the world” in a quote attributed to Whitman.

The artwork features a detailed illustrated map of the Rhine, showcasing its medieval castles, picturesque villages, and renowned landmarks lining the riverbanks. Flowing through verdant hills and valleys, the Rhine is brought to life with rich tones of green, orange, and blue, creating a vibrant and visually engaging design. Iconic castles such as Ehrenfels, Marksburg, and Schönburg stand out, enhancing the sense of history and charm. The bold title “GERMANY” crowns the top of the poster, while “The Rhine” is prominently displayed at the bottom in deep navy-blue lettering, accompanied by promotional details for the German Railroads Information Office in New York City.

The poster is in good condition, having been linen-backed to preserve its integrity. It does display some age-related wear, including two significant tears at the top and bottom, but overall remains an excellent candidate for framing to showcase its timeless appeal. Ask for better photos.
