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. This is one of his earliest travel posters. Baumberger 42, Hotelplakate 56, Reise ins Bad p. 54-55.
