What it is
A travel poster by Emil Cardinaux for the Rhaetische Bahn, Graubünden: the Silsersee in the Oberengadin, dated 1916 in the SBB Historic archive, which holds it as P B08 0005.
Why it matters
The Rhaetian Railway carried visitors up into the Engadine, and Cardinaux sold the destination rather than the train.
What to notice
The archive keeps the German edition, lettered for the home market in a war year.
Swiss rail sold by its lakes.
