The classic vintage transport posters used to create this pack celebrate the thrill of winter sports on spectacular, uncluttered mountains when speed was an exciting novelty. These poker-size high quality playing cards feature a different vintage image on each card.
Skiing for fun started in the 19th century in Austria and the Swiss Alps. The fashion spread across Europe, and to the USA and Canada. Soon tourists were being seduced by posters designed by graphic artists - like Hohlwein and Maurer promoting winter sports and travelling to places where winter sports such as skiing took place..
