Arosa – Elektrische Bahn

SOLD

In the first version of this poster, the slogan was pure and simple “Chur-Arosa Bahn”. However, for whatever reason, this seemed to disturb the people responsible for building this railway route between 1912 and 1914. In response, they made cut off the lower part of the text of the not yet distributed copies, replacing it with a new one, which read: “Arosa – Elektr. Bahn Chur-Arosa”, and included the indication of the altitude and mention of Switzerland. It is noteworthy that the same correction appeared in the English version of the poster. Since 1942, the route has been integrated into the network of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB).
