About the Item
Victor Surbek, the acclaimed Swiss artist, left an enduring legacy with his 1948 poster featuring the "Ligne Électrique du Brunig" from Lucerne to Interlaken. This vintage masterpiece not only commemorates a pivotal moment in Swiss rail history but also highlights Surbek's artistic brilliance.
Set against Switzerland's stunning landscapes, Surbek's poster depicts a sleek electric train effortlessly traversing picturesque terrain. His artistic strokes capture the essence of modernization and progress, accentuated by bold typography that underscores technological advancement.
