This is an original vintage travel poster issued by NSB (Norwegian State Railways) in 1968, showcasing Norway as a summer travel destination. The photo features a stunning view of Jølstravatn, a serene lake in Sunnfjord Municipality, Vestland County, Norway.
The composition highlights a picturesque fjord landscape, with steep, snow-capped mountains rising dramatically on both sides of the lake. A small cluster of red and white farmhouses sits peacefully at the foot of the mountains, emphasizing the region's idyllic rural charm. In the foreground, a lone individual is rowing a small boat on the calm, reflective waters of the lake, adding a tranquil and human touch to the majestic natural setting. A lush green meadow with scattered wildflowers frames the scene on the left, further enhancing the vibrant summer atmosphere.
The text below prominently advertises Norway in three languages (Norwegian, English, and French), along with the NSB logo, inviting travelers to experience the beauty of Norwegian railways and landscapes.
The poster is in very good condition, a vibrant and timeless piece of mid-century travel promotion.
