What it is
A travel poster for Bern by Emil Cardinaux, lettered Schweiz, Switzerland and Suisse, dated 1906 in the SBB Historic archive (P D03 0004).
Why it matters
Cardinaux was born in Bern, and the poster for his own city is among his earliest.
What to notice
The sheet is wider than it is tall, unusual for a city poster of the period.
The capital, sold to three language markets at once.
