This vintage original travel poster promotes Attersee, a picturesque lake in Upper Austria's Salzkammergut region, for German-speaking tourists (as indicated by "ALLEMAGNE" in bold at the bottom). The image captures a tranquil scene with a sailboat, marked R42, gliding across the lake's serene waters. The surrounding landscape showcases rolling hills and distant mountains, emphasizing the region's natural beauty. The composition is framed by two tall trees, adding depth and a sense of seclusion.
The text at the bottom credits the Austrian Tourism Office (Österreichische Verkehrswerbung) and mentions the Austrian Ministry of Trade and Transport in Vienna, reinforcing its authenticity and historical significance.
The poster is in overall good condition but has a missing corner in the lower right. Nevertheless, it remains a stunning and evocative piece, perfect for framing and display as a nostalgic homage to early 20th-century travel.
