Travel Poster Innsbruck Tyrol Austria Skiing

Original vintage travel poster for Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria, with a photo by Klebelsberg. Innsbruck is the capital city of the Tyrol region and the fifth-largest city in Austria. It's name literally translates as 'Bridge over the Inn' and hosted the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics. Innsbruck is a popular tourist and skiing destination for the Austrian Alps. The poster features a black and white monotone photograph showing the sihlouette of St. Anne's Column, which stands in the city centre of Innsbruck on Maria-Theresien-Strasse. It was given its name when, in 1703, the last Bavarian troops were driven from the Tyrol on St. Anne's Day (26 July), as part of the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1704, in gratitude, the Landstande vowed to build a monument commemorating the event. Snowy mountains can be seen at the background accompanied by bold red text at the bottom. Very good condition, minor tear at the bottom, minor creasing. Country of issue: Austria, designer: Klebelsberg, size (cm): 70x47.5, year of printing: 1960s
