About this poster

One of the most spectacular Swiss railway lines was opened in two stages: the Brig-Gletsch route on July 1, 1915 and the Gletsch-Disentis route on July 4, 1926, connecting the Rhone and the Rhine via two passes. The Rhone Glacier was undisputedly the big attraction - it gave the Furka-Oberalp Railway, as it is officially called, the distinctive name "Glacier Express". Otto Ernst's style and graphic implementation was an excellent image of the daring railway builders typical of the time.
