This is a stunning and authentic Swiss travel poster issued in 1902, designed by Anton Reckziegel (1865-1935). It beautifully promotes Vevey, a picturesque town on the shores of Lake Geneva, highlighting its scenic railway connections and excursion opportunities.
The artwork showcases a detailed topographic map of the region, featuring notable landmarks such as Mont Pèlerin, Les Pléiades, and the Simplon railway line. The composition includes a striking color palette, precise cartographic detailing, and an inset illustration of a viaduct, adding to the poster’s visual appeal.
In excellent condition, this rare piece captures the essence of early 20th-century travel advertising and is a fine example of Swiss graphic design from the Belle Époque era.
