hiya! the crans-montana poster is by Hans Erni, created in 1987. it also needs to be turned 90 degrees counterclockwise, so the skier zips downhill.
Thanks, Joachim! That certainly makes more sense. I added a note and will get our image fixed. Corrected the date too.
Just love these! I’ve been looking for some great vintage posters for my den. Any one of these would look amazing!
Chock full of inspiration… I love the typography in every one of these.
HI how does one buy any of the ski posters shown?
