About this poster

A beautiful view of Lake Geneva, Chillon Castle and the Dents du Midi mountain. Chillon Castle, an architectural jewel with over 1000 years of history located at the foot of the Alps on the shore of Lake Geneva, has inspired artists and writers for many centuries. This famous Emil Cardinaux poster was first printed in small size in 1928. Then in 1949 the Simplon railway Company re-printed it in large size. A classic Swiss vintage travel poster in excellent condition with fresh colours and text in Dutch.
