What it is
A travel poster by Emil Cardinaux for the Gotthard line, lettered Gotthard Schweiz and dated 1914 in the SBB Historic archive (P A04 0014).
Why it matters
The Gotthard tunnel was the north-south spine of Swiss rail, and the route was sold under the pass's own name.
What to notice
One word carries the sheet: the pass, not the railway company.
A mountain pass as a brand.
