The title places this 1935 color poster at Zakopane and Kasprowy Wierch, the peak above the Polish resort town in the Tatra Mountains, and lists the names Osiecki and Skolimowski. Printed in Kraków by Drukarnia Narodowa, it belongs to a group of interwar Polish posters that promoted winter sports and travel to the mountains. Zakopane was the center of Polish skiing and mountain tourism between the wars, and posters like this one helped draw visitors to its slopes and guesthouses.
