With the acquisition of the new Douglas DC-2 in 1935, Swissair was able to operate 14-passenger flights all year round. This sought-after avant-garde poster was printed in various languages in 1936. The magnificent photomontage by Herbert Matter shows the DC-2 in front of the breath-taking Bernina Range. A rarity.
