This is a vintage original English language Summer in Austria travel poster issued in the 1930s and likely created by the artist Hans Neumann.   For this poster Neumann renders an idealized image of a young Austrian couple in traditional dress set against colorful Alpine scenery.   The young woman clutches a bible while her male companion in Tyrolean hat puffs on a tobacco pipe.   Text at the bottom of the poster reads: 

SUMMER IN AUSTRIA – Information From All International Tourist Offices 30% Reduction In Return Fares On the Austrian National Railways – Federal Ministry For Commerce And Traffic Vienna, Propaganda Service For Tourist Traffic 

The lower right corner of the image area shows the printer as Kifadruck Innsbruck.  The G+K logo of the highly influential Atelier Glaser und Kosel commercial art and graphic studio of Vienna, of which Hans Neumann was associated, appears on the lower right side of the image are.  

This vintage original poster is free of tape or pinholes and shows moderate handling wear including some bumping to the edges in places and creasing along the bottom edge and lower right corner.  Basic linen backing, which we can arrange for an additional cost, would get this poster looking close to new or just display it as is.  The original colors are well retained and overall condition is very good for this vintage original 1930s Austria travel poster.
