About this poster

In Walter Herdeg’s photomontage for St. Moritz, a group of skier in the foreground engages in dialogue with the blue sky and the painterly design of the sun. The intensive lighting and color scheme are as characteristic as the sun itself. This motif is the recurring hallmark of Herdeg’s St. Moritz posters, and was registered with the Swiss Federal Agency for Intellectual Property, making it one of the earliest applications of corporate identity to a travel destination. Even in small format, this vintage poster has a touch of Nostalgia.
