Norge Midnattssolens Land 1953

This beautiful and atmospheric original 1953 travel poster was issued by Landslaget for Reiselivet i Norge and Norges Statsbaner to promote Norway as a premier summer destination. Featuring a stunning photograph by Swedish photographer Göran Ålgård, the poster captures the mesmerizing glow of the midnight sun over Lyngenfjord, one of Norway’s most dramatic fjord landscapes.

Printed in offset lithography in six colours, the poster masterfully reproduces the rich tones of the Arctic summer night. The midnight sun hovers just above the horizon, casting warm hues of gold, orange, and soft pink across the sky and reflecting in the calm waters below. Silhouetted birch trees and a rustic fence frame the scene, emphasizing Norway’s raw, untouched natural beauty. The bold headline, “Norge – Midnattssolens Land,” proudly highlights Norway as the land of the midnight sun.

An evocative and highly collectible piece of Norwegian travel history—perfect for enthusiasts of Scandinavian mid-century design, photographic posters, and Arctic landscapes.
