This authentic vintage Norwegian travel poster, issued in 1958, promotes Norway as a premier winter destination. It captures a classic Norwegian Easter ski scene, reflecting the winter holiday traditions of the time.
The image showcases three skiers dressed in stylish 1950s ski fashion, with two women in the foreground wearing cozy, intricately patterned Norwegian sweaters, slim ski pants, and matching head coverings. One skier, dressed in red and white, gestures enthusiastically toward the stunning snow-covered mountains, while the other, in blue and white, smiles in admiration. A third skier is visible in the background, further adding to the alpine atmosphere.
The bold "Norge" lettering at the top and the "Rejs med DFDS" text below emphasize travel routes from Copenhagen and Frederikshavn to Oslo, promoting Norway as a ski and holiday getaway.
This original poster is mounted on linen for preservation and has some age wear, light dirt stains, and small tears along the margins, but remains a charming and collectible piece of vintage travel advertising.
