About the poster

A blue river winds through wooded hills, while logs float past red wooden houses with white details. In the foreground stands a tall hay drying rack, and a large purple snapdragon rises above the blooming meadow. Bengt Linnarsson combines landscape, agriculture, and forestry in a calm and colorful image of Ångermanland in Sweden.

The poster was designed in 1946 for the Ångermanland Tourist Association. The snapdragon is the flower of the landscape, and the coat of arms with the three fish emphasizes the motif's local affiliation. The muted green tones, the light blue river, and the red houses give the poster a warm, decorative expression.

This copy measures approx. 31 × 50 cm and bears the signature “Linnarson 46”. At the bottom, the tourist association's ÅTF mark and the printer's text “Svenska Tryckeriaktiebolaget, Sthlm” can be seen.

About the artist

Bengt Linnarsson (1912–1992) was a Swedish architect and self-taught painter. After his education at KTH in Stockholm, he worked as an assistant county architect in Härnösand with urban planning in Västernorrland. He designed, among other things, Vårdkasstugan near Härnösand. He cultivated painting and posters mainly in his free time, and he worked with both oil and watercolor.

Condition

10/10 – Perfect condition with beautiful patina. The warm age tone of the paper suits the muted colors of the motif. See the detail images for a closer impression of the paper, print, and signature.

Framing

A narrow frame in light or smoked oak suits the natural colors of the motif beautifully. An off-white matting as a background can create space around the poster and allow the original paper margins to remain visible.

This is just our suggestion. You can play with the framing options yourself and order your chosen frame and matting together with the poster. We always send lithographs and frames separately to protect the poster, in case the frame gets damaged during shipping. It is relatively easy to put the poster in the frame yourself, and we are happy to help if you have questions about the mounting.
