This authentic vintage railway poster, issued by Statens Järnvägar (SJ) in 1947, promotes affordable travel tours throughout the year. Its vibrant design highlights seasonal activities, inviting travelers to explore Sweden’s landscapes.
The central blue circle features bold white text, "SJ billiga rundturer" ("SJ affordable tours"). Surrounding it are colorful scenes: hikers overlooking a lake, sunbathers on a sunny beach, a couple dining outdoors at sunset, and skiers gliding down snowy slopes. The tagline "ÅRET RUNT" ("All year round") underscores the message of year-round travel.
A French stamp at the bottom indicates it was distributed in France. The lower margin promotes the Post Savings Bank for travel credit, linking the poster to a practical financial service.
In very good condition, with minor margin wear, a small tear, and slight paper loss, this vibrant artwork would look exceptional framed, serving as both a historical artifact and a striking decorative piece.
