An Alpine destination for your travel collection
Celebrate an interest in Swiss mountain travel with this reproduction of Emil Cardinaux’s Zermatt poster (1908). Its connection to the Matterhorn gives it a particular sense of place, making it a thoughtful choice for a study, hallway or Alpine-themed gallery wall. Choose it as a reminder of a favourite journey or as part of a collection celebrating destinations you hope to explore.
About the poster
The 1908 date places this Swiss advertisement within the early history of modern travel-poster design. Cardinaux’s work connects a named destination with its mountain setting, offering an alternative to a photographic holiday view. For collectors, the poster provides a starting point for exploring how commercial art encouraged travel and how different places were presented to prospective visitors.
Create a personal mountain-travel corner
Imagine displaying the print near a bookshelf of walking guides, with warm wooden furniture, softly textured blankets and a treasured travel memento nearby. It can provide a year-round connection to the Alps, whether you enjoy mountain holidays, skiing or simply discovering places through their advertising history. The recorded pink, black and orange palette offers a starting point for coordinating accessories or companion prints in related tones.
A smaller format can join an established gallery arrangement, while a larger print gives the Swiss destination a more prominent place. Pairing it with another Swiss travel poster creates a geographical connection; adding Lake Louise and Tasmania broadens the display into a collection of mountain destinations. Consider your available wall space and surrounding furniture before choosing the size that suits your room.
Paper, printing and finish
This product is a reproduction, not an original advertisement from 1908. It is produced using giclée printing on 200gsm matte art paper, offering a matte paper surface for your chosen display. Select a print-only version if you would like to use your own frame, or choose a framed option with a black wooden frame and white mount. Three paper sizes provide flexibility for an individual travel feature or a grouped gallery wall.

Pair it with
Continue the Swiss mountain-travel theme with the Ste-Croix et Les Rasses ski poster (1930s). For a broader mountain gallery wall, add the Canadian Pacific Lake Louise poster and the Tasmania travel poster (1930s), whose “Switzerland of the South” slogan makes a fitting connection to Zermatt.
