DESIGNER UNKNOWN BADEN-BADEN. 1960's.

Condition A.
This langorous and sophisticated colorized-photo poster is an unexpected surprise from an era when tourist posters were becoming dull and the use of photography was becoming unimaginative. Baden-Baden, a small, spa town in the Rheinland, is not an easy resort to advertise as it lacks any impressive monuments. But this spectacular bird's-eye-view of an elegantly dressed 1960's beauty sitting on a bench manages to convey what an experience there is about: peace and relaxation.
