Baumberger was one the most prolific and versatile Swiss graphic designers. His posters switched nimbly between the near-photographic representation of objects in the Neue Sachlichkeit style, minimal typographic creations, abstract and realistic landscapes and concise Art Deco designs. The Brunig Line connects Interlaken with Lucern. This is the rare English version which is not listed in Baumberger. Baumberger 199 (var).
