Emil Cardinaux is considered one of the most talented European poster designers of the 20th century. For this 1921 poster advertising the Palace Hotel in St. Moritz, Cardinaux chose soft colours to depict the summery Engadine mountain landscape and the elegant, golf-playing guests, creating a masterpiece of Swiss poster history.
