Some things just feel eternal. Like the harmony of skiing in Swedish Lapland. This poster was created almost 100 years ago, but hey, it looks like the 2020’s, doesn’t it? The poster was commissioned by the Swedish Tourist Association, they sure knew what the people needed in the stressful 1930s, sorry … the 2020’s.
