Poster Gregg Skis by Sascha Maurer, produced in the 1950s to promote the Gregg brand of skis. Gregg was an American manufacturer based in St. Paul, Minnesota, active in the mid-20th century, known for producing wooden skis and equipment as skiing grew in popularity in the United States.
Sascha Maurer (1897–1961) was a German-born artist who emigrated to the United States and became recognized for his bold graphic posters. He created striking images for American railroads, airlines, and sporting goods companies, including ski equipment manufacturers such as Northland and Gregg. His posters are notable for their strong compositions and vivid color, capturing the energy of outdoor recreation during the postwar years.
This example, Gregg Skis, is mounted on linen and preserved in excellent condition.
Regione della Jungfrau was created by Ed Weber circa 1950 for the Jungfrau region of Switzerland, home to ski resorts such as Wengen, Grindelwald, and other Bernese Oberland destinations. The design features a fashionable lady skier in the foreground, with the electric mountain train and the Alps rising dramatically in the background — a classic image of postwar Swiss winter tourism.
Printed in Bern by Laupen using lithography, the poster captures the style and energy of mid-century alpine travel advertising. This example is linen-backed and in excellent “A” condition.

Poster Cervinia by Arnaldo Musati, originally created in the 1950s and reissued in the 1970s. The design highlights the alpine resort of Breuil-Cervinia in the Aosta Valley, framed by the Matterhorn (Cervino), one of Europe’s most recognizable peaks. The image reflects mid-century Italian travel advertising, promoting Cervinia’s growth as a premier ski destination linked with Zermatt and known for its long ski seasons and high-altitude slopes.
Musati (1916–1988) was an Italian painter and graphic artist whose posters for Italian tourism captured the atmosphere of postwar leisure and regional identity. His work for Cervinia remains among the classic ski posters of the era.
Mounted on linen and preserved in excellent condition.
