Product Details Packed with classic travel posters advertising Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland, this book celebrates the golden age of Nordic travel advertising. It expands on the Come to Norden exhibition at Nordiska museet in Stockholm with additional posters and background stories, showcasing a range of styles from late‑19th‑century lithographs to mid‑20th‑century modernist graphics. High‑quality reproductions preserve color and detail so the artwork remains the main focus for browsing, inspiration, or display.
