Beer and fish, that’s the obvious gourmet combo, isn’t it? At least according to this Finnish vintage poster. The poster highlights the rich variety of different types of fish in the Finnish lakes and in the sea. And then, to everybody’s surprise, it’s promoting Finnish beer (the label on the beer glass translates as “Finnish, […]
You know we love travel posters with our whole hearts, but did you know that the poster hunter also keeps other treasures, such as propaganda posters, in his archives? Since the prohibition period, efforts have been made to work for sobriety with the help of posters. The dangers of liquor have traditionally been warned by […]

Most of the regions, cities and travel companies in Finland created posters and images of their own, just like the capital city of Helsinki has done here. The idea was naturally to lure travels from near and afar to Finland. We continuously seek more information about all images in our product range, so please write […]

Redan år 1915 talade ordförande för Turistföreningen om att det är dags att plocka fram den gamla goda kanoten och bege sig ut på upptäcktsfärd i Finland. Men först i slutet av 1920-talet vände man sig till utländska turister med broschyrer och affischer om de oändliga möjligheterna som Finland ju faktiskt kunde (och kan) erbjuda. […]
Recently our favourite poster hunter called us: he had found a unique original print of this Lahti poster. What do you reckon, did we buy it or not…?
And now a nostalgic tear runs down a Finnish cheek. We’re talking of that link to the town, that symbol of national unity, those bright yellow, rather slow, but always reliable and delightfully sociable…post buses. Everything started in Lapland, where the problems of delivering mail were greatest. The Rovaniemi-Sodankylä line started up in 1921, although […]
Erik Bruun (born 1926) is a merry rascal whom everyone gets along with. He is the grand old man of poster art in Finland and the question is if anyone else has done more than he has to attract travelers to Finland. In Bruun’s posters one can always sense his typical tongue in cheek attitude, […]

One can only congratulate poster artist Martti Mykkänen. He managed to capture the essence of Turku (the former capital city of Finland) – its history, culture and the archipelago – in a modern and suggestive way.
It is the summer of 1952. The summer of the Olympic Games in Helsinki. The frenzy of the competition fills the air in the capital city. The photographer Fred Runeberg has had enough of all the fuss. ‘Let’s get away and do some work!’ he says to his two sons. So off they set to […]
Inspired by the traditional clothing of the inuits the anorak (parka) also reached Finland. That’s when the skiing boy on the poster put it on – and soon the anorak became a favorite also for longtime Finnish president Urho Kekkonen. And now the anorak-boy can style up your home!
