Original Vintage Swiss Rail Poster Suisse by Fritz Buhler Alps 1959
Est: $800 - $1,200
This is a dynamically designed Swiss poster for the railroad that traverses the Alps. Featured here is the Gotthard tunnel, with a train conductor at work in the foreground. It is a bright and colorful image, with a painterly touch. The Saint-Gothard-Loetschberg-Simplon, often referred to as the Gotthard-Basistunnel, represents a major milestone in Swiss railway engineering. This comprehensive project, encompassing the Gotthard Base Tunnel, the Loetschberg Base Tunnel, and the Simplon Tunnel, revolutionized rail travel through the Swiss Alps. The Simplon Tunnel, opened in 1906, was an engineering marvel of its time, linking Brig in Switzerland to Iselle in Italy. The Loetschberg Tunnel, inaugurated in 1913, facilitated a crucial north-south rail connection between Bern and the Italian border. Fritz Buehler (1888-1961) was a distinguished Swiss graphic artist and designer renowned for his innovative poster art during the early 20th century. He studied at the Zurich School of Applied Arts, where he honed his skills in graphic design and visual communication. Buehler's career was marked by his work for major Swiss companies and his contributions to the Art Deco movement, creating visually striking posters that effectively promoted brands and events. His mastery of color and composition helped define the era's advertising aesthetics, leaving a significant legacy in the field of graphic design.

FRITZ BÜHLER (1909-1963) ROGER & GALLET PARIS. 1947. 50 1/4x35 1/2 inches, 127 1/2x90 cm. Kümmerly & Frey, Berlin. Condition A-: creases at edges and in image; ink stamp on verson in bottom corner. Paper. A prolific poster designer based in Basel, Bühler worked for many of the most recognizable firms, such as P.K.Z., Union, Nivea and Roger & Gallet, a French perfume company, founded in 1862. They became famous for their luxurious bath soaps and their innovative recipe for violet-scented perfume, Vera Violetta. As seen in this poster, as well as in a design by Brun, Roger & Gallet also produced lipstick in gold metallic cases during the 1940s. A smaller version of this Bühler image exists, with a fuschia glove, printed by Atar in Geneva. Bühler's experiences designing in Paris and Berlin, in addition to Basel, explain his melding of sophisticated and focused advertising and the Object Poster.

SWISSAIR TO SWITZERLAND ORIGINAL VINTAGE TRAVEL POSTER
Est: $900 - $1,300
Swissair was founded in 1931 after the merger of Ad Astra Aero (founded in 1919) and Balair (founded in 1925). At the start, unlike other European airlines, Swissair did not receive support from the government. It was not until 1951 that the Swiss government purchased 30% of the shares, and the airline became the official national carrier of Switzerland. Swissair was a pioneer in many aspects of the airline industry. For example, the airline was one of the first to use American aircraft and the first in Europe to employ flight attendants in 1934. In 1957 they added the Far East to their routes, with stops in Bombay (now Mumbai), India. This image was created c1955 by the talented Swiss artist, Fritz Buhler ( 1909 – 1963). It features the Swiss flag prominently as well as showing some of the scenic highlights of Switzerland. After studying graphic design at the university of fine and applied arts in Berlin, spending time studying in Paris and undertaking practical work, Fritz Bühler went straight into opening his own studio in 1933. From early on, he combined sensitive design work with a flair for effective advertising. These traits could also be seen in his poster and advertisement campaign for Reemtsma’s cigarette brand Stuyvesant in the 1950s and 60s. His Union Brikett (1943 and 1948) and Nivea (1948) posters, along with many other works, count among the classics of Swiss poster design. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.
