This Swedish poster stands out for its origin: a color lithograph printed in Stockholm in 1936 by J. Olséns litografiska Anstalt to promote Ford automobiles to Swedish buyers. American cars were a growing presence on European roads in the 1930s, and Ford competed with domestic makers for customers in Sweden. Advertising posters like this one reached city dwellers through shop windows, streetcar stops and billboards. Its pairing of American automotive imagery with a local lithography firm shows how carmakers adapted their promotion for individual national markets.
