Silvaplana – Surlej | Engadine

One of the two magnificent Art Deco masterpieces – here the summer version – that Johannes Handschin (1899–1948) created for the local tourism authority in the mid-1930s, using the airbrush technique that the Basel artist mastered so brilliantly. He depicts the mountain panorama of the Corvatsch region with the Piz Margna above the mirror-smooth and almost luminous Lake Silvaplana. An extremely rare poster, almost perfectly preserved and correspondingly costly.

We are still trying to track down the winter version of the corresponding motif…

also by Handschin and maybe of interest as well:
