Created in 1908, this iconic poster marks a significant departure from the traditional illustrative styles of the time, embracing instead a bold, graphic approach that would come to define the visual language of early 20th-century travel posters. The artwork features the majestic Matterhorn, a symbol of the Swiss Alps, rendered with striking simplicity and dramatic contrasts that capture the awe-inspiring beauty of the landscape. Cardinaux's innovative use of color and form not only highlights the natural splendor of Zermatt but also effectively communicates the allure of the Swiss Alps as a premier travel destination.
