This is an original vintage travel poster issued by NSB (Norwegian State Railways) to promote Norway as a summer travel destination, featuring a photograph of Romsdalen and Trolltindene, located in Møre & Romsdal, Norway.
The photograph captures the dramatic natural beauty of the region, with towering, snow-dusted peaks and steep rock faces dominating the background. This includes the Trollveggen (Troll Wall), which is Europe’s tallest vertical rock face, rising approximately 1,000 meters. The lush greenery of the valley contrasts with the rugged cliffs, emphasizing the area's scenic diversity. In the foreground, a man stands in a wooden rowboat on a calm river, engaged in fishing, surrounded by vibrant wildflowers. This serene activity provides a tranquil counterpoint to the majestic, imposing mountains.
The lower portion of the poster includes bold text advertising Norway in Norwegian, English, and French, along with the NSB logo.
The poster is described as being in good condition, with light age-related wear. Some minor scratches and dirt spots are visible in the image but do not detract significantly from its overall appeal. It would look especially striking when framed.
