Engelberg Wintersport 1905
Buy this print on Etsy →Five bundled riders hurtle downhill aboard a single racing toboggan, snow spraying from the runners as the jagged peaks above Engelberg tower behind them. Wilhelm Amrhein's 1905 design for the Hotels Cattani distills the speed and glamour of Alpine winter sport, with the resort's grand hotels pictured serenely below.
The early twentieth century turned the Swiss Alps into a playground of bobsled runs, ski slopes, and grand hotels, and travel posters like this one sold the exhilaration of the mountain holiday to a new class of tourists. It is a spirited classic of the golden age of winter-sport design.
As wall art it brings dynamic, adventurous energy to an entryway, study, chalet, or gallery wall of vintage travel posters. Each print is a museum-quality reproduction on premium archival matte paper, with rich, faithful color, ready to frame and built to last.
