Original 1930s Swiss Travel Poster, Walter Herdeg and Alb Steiner
About the Item
Beautiful, extremely large, advertising poster for the French electrical manufacturing company Ribet Desjardins.
We love the colours and design on this original 1930s Swiss St. Moritz Travel poster. A classic Swiss photo-montage of a baby reaching out to a sunburst. Designed by the celebrated graphic designer Walter Herdeg (1908-1995), using photography by Albert (Alb.) Steiner (1877-1965). Extremely rare, especially in this larger Swiss format. Printed by Orell Fussli c.1935.
Herdeg had a distinctive style in which he used typography with a combination of photography to create unified photo-montage posters that had simple messages with limited wording. The messages were conveyed by the clever use of imaging and brief, sentimental typefaces that were reminiscent of handwriting. This poster for the famous Ski Resort St. Moritz being a classic example.
This vintage poster has been professionally linen-backed without any restoration and looks fabulous. Just a couple of tiny spots of surface paper-loss in places. It is sized 36 x 50 1/4 inches (38 1/2 x 53 inches including the linen-backing) and will be sent rolled (unframed).

Trans World Airlines (TWA) was a major airline in the United States that operated from 1930 until it was acquired by American Airlines in 2001. It was formed as Transcontinental & Western Air to operate a route from New York City to Los Angeles, soon followed by multiple National routes. Howard Hughes acquired control of TWA in 1939, and after World War II led the expansion of the airline to serve Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, making TWA a second unofficial flag carrier of the United States after Pan Am.
David Klein (1918 – 2005) was an American artist, best known for his influential work in advertising. Although he produced illustrations for Broadway theatrical productions, Hollywood films, the United States Army, and numerous corporate clients, Klein is best remembered for the iconic travel images he created for Howard Hughes and Trans World Airlines (TWA). Between approximately 1955–1965, Klein designed numerous award-winning travel advertisement posters, the bulk for TWA, many of which are now considered emblematic of the 1960s Jet Age. In 1957 New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) added Klein's iconic TWA Times Square...
