Furka-Oberalp Railways - From The Rhone To The Rhine

A magnificent and rare original Swiss travel poster by Daniele Buzzi, promoting the Furka–Oberalp Railway — the spectacular Alpine route connecting the valleys of the Rhone and the Rhine.

Rendered in Buzzi’s signature vibrant color palette and painterly style, the composition captures a dramatic viaduct soaring high above a mountain gorge. The train glides across the bridge against a stunning backdrop of purple peaks, golden forests, and a winding river below — a celebration of both engineering prowess and natural grandeur.

Issued in 1926, this is one of Buzzi’s most sought-after designs, admired for its bold use of color and light reminiscent of Expressionist influences. It epitomizes the golden age of Swiss travel poster art, when artists turned railway advertising into breathtaking works of art.

A rare and exceptional poster — beautifully preserved, professionally mounted on linen, and a jewel of early 20th-century Swiss design.

Condition: Very good. Light wear. Mounted on linen for preservation.
