Poland Visit Poznan

This original vintage travel poster promotes Poland and the historic city of Poznan, presented in multiple languages—French, English, and German—highlighting its appeal to an international audience. The composition is both elegant and symbolic, featuring a man and woman dressed in traditional Polish folk costume. The woman holds a bundle of wheat, while the man carries decorated branches, representing harvest, tradition, and rural heritage.

The figures are rendered in a stylized, graphic manner with soft shading and a harmonious color palette of reds, creams, and muted tones. Behind them, a subtle silhouette of Poznan’s historic architecture emerges, including the distinctive spire of the 13th-century Town Hall and the Gothic Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, anchoring the image in a specific cultural and historical setting.

Bold red typography dominates the upper and lower sections, with "Pologne – Poland – Polen" at the top and "Visitez Poznan et ses environs / Visit Poznan and environs / Besuchet Posen und Umgebung" below, reinforcing the poster’s strong visual identity and clear message. The overall design reflects the refined style of early to mid-20th century European travel posters, combining national pride, cultural imagery, and tourism promotion.

Mounted on linen, with light foxing and a small piece missing from the upper left corner. The left margin is slightly rugged. Despite these minor imperfections, the poster presents very well and would look stunning framed.
