Here the poster presents Poland itself as a winter destination, pairing a color design by T. Lipski with a photograph by A. Krzeptowski, printed in Kraków by the Drukarnia Narodowa. It likely comes from the interwar years, when the newly independent Polish state encouraged skiing and mountain holidays, especially in the Tatras around Zakopane. The record gives only a span of dates, 1910 to 1940, but the subject fits the period when winter sport was becoming a popular leisure pursuit across Central Europe.
