an undated tourist flyer for the swiss mountain resort of davos. we had another one in story 430.

i am not sure about the vintage, although the laid-in "summer sports program" suggests 1937.

although the flyer bears no designer credits, i found out that the colourful mountain cabin in sunshine was designed by swiss poster artist willy trapp (1905-1984), ...

... considering the same image can be found on this davos poster he created (the page dates the poster 1942).
