Despite sterling contributions from the Finnish commercial graphic artists, there was still a force that grew ever stronger: the colour photograph. Suddenly one could show things ‘exactly’ as they looked in reality! No exaggerations! No room for interpretation! This is what it actually looks like in Finland!

Many of the most talented contemporary photographers travelled around the country to capture Finland in photographs. In this particular one Fred Runeberg has travelled to the far north, to the arm of Finland, to capture Kilpisjärvi on a photo poster.

The poster collectors and hunters of the world are convinced that early photo posters like this one soon will be sought after and admired.

Check out over 200 classic Finnish travel posters and read more about all the great Finnish poster artists in the digital version of our book ”Come to Finland” (found in three different editions; in English, French and German). After enjoying the posters a while we believe you are ready to order the real thing: the printed coffee table book.
