DESIGNER UNKNOWN KURGARTEN HOTEL / DAVOS. Circa 1930. 39 3/4x27 3/4 inches, 101x70 1/2 cm. Fiedler S.A., La Chaux-de Fonds. Condition B+ / A-: repaired tear in image; creases, abrasions and repaired tears in margins, some slightly affecting image. For a no-longer extant Davos hotel, an anonymous artist engages the viewer by depicting the approach, from a driver's perspective. The curious choice to highlight the hotel's garage strongly implies that this was early enough in the automotive era to make it fashionable to drive to the Alps. Previously unrecorded.
