This is a vintage travel poster issued by Statens Järnvägar (SJ) in 1946. The poster is designed by Per Sundberg and features Stockholm City Hall with its iconic golden spire, set against a dramatic backdrop of a radiant orange sun and blue mountain peaks.
The bold typography promotes "Snabbresa med nattåg" (Fast travel by night train) to Upper Norrland, emphasizing the convenience of working, sleeping, and arriving refreshed at the destination. The main text in bold, dark letters promotes "Snabbresa med nattåg" (Fast travel by night train) to Upper Norrland, departing from Stockholm at 17:00. The tagline highlights the convenience of working all day, sleeping through the night, and awakening in Upper Norrland the following morning.
In very good condition. Light margin wear and a small water stain is visible at the lower right margin, but this does not detract from the overall impact of the design. Additionally, a French stamp at the bottom indicates that this poster was distributed for use in France.
