About the Item
This breathtaking original Soviet Intourist travel poster showcases one of Crimea’s most iconic landmarks—the Swallow’s Nest (Nid de l’Hirondelle)—perched dramatically on the edge of the Aurora Cliff, overlooking the Black Sea.
Published by Intourist, the official Soviet travel agency, this vintage poster was designed to entice travelers from both Eastern and Western blocs to discover the dramatic beauty of the Crimean Peninsula—a favorite destination of the Soviet elite and foreign tourists alike.
Built in 1912 in a romantic Neo-Gothic style, the Swallow’s Nest is as much a symbol of Crimea as it is of escape, fantasy, and timeless elegance. The image captures the castle’s vertiginous position, bathed in coastal sunlight, with a white motorboat skimming across the sapphire waters—a rare and aspirational scene at the time of its publication.
The poster’s composition, crisp typography, and soft color grading are emblematic of Soviet-era photographic design, blending promotion with propaganda, architecture with nature, and modernity with romance.
Whether you’re drawn to Cold War travel ephemera, Soviet graphic design, or the unique geography of the Black Sea, this original “Crimée – Nid de l’Hirondelle” poster is an evocative collectible that captures a dreamlike vision of a world once behind the Iron Curtain.
