Description

Skiing for fun, a British invention, started in the 19th century in Austria and the Swiss Alps. The fashion spread across Europe, and to the USA and Canada. Soon tourists were being seduced by posters designed by graphic artists – like Hohlwein and Maurer. The classic posters in this pack celebrate the drama of skiing on spectacular, uncluttered mountains when speed was a thrilling novelty.
