About this poster

This authentic poster lithograph was created at a time when St. Moritz had already established itself as one of the most popular winter sports and health resorts in Switzerland. In a style influenced by Ferdinand Hodler with strong colours and clear contours, Wilhelm Burger masterfully conveys the majestic stillness of the Engadine mountain landscape. A rarity from 1912.
