This is a genuine vintage poster titled "Jämtland Härjedalen 1645 - 1945, Östersund Jubileum," designed by E. H. It commemorates the 300th anniversary of the region becoming part of Sweden, celebrated with a grand exhibition in Östersund from July 14 to August 13, 1945.
The poster features a vibrant illustration of the Jämtland and Härjedalen landscape, complete with mountains, fields, and a stylized depiction of the town of Östersund. A beam of light radiates from the top, symbolizing enlightenment and celebration. Prominently displayed in the foreground is the emblem of the Jamtli Museum—a blue horse with a brown human figure standing on it, arms raised, representing the region's rich cultural and historical heritage. The bottom section showcases a sleek train in motion, emphasizing accessibility and modernity, with the large "Ö" of Östersund creatively integrated into the design.
The poster remains in very good condition, a stunning piece of historical artwork that reflects the pride and significance of this milestone in Jämtland and Härjedalen's history.
