Travel Poster Post Office Bus Black Forest Lake Constance Germany
Description
Original vintage travel poster published by the German Federal Post Office to promote its passengers transport services, the famous yellow Kraftpost bues, across the south west region of the Black Forest and the Lake Constance (text reads: Krafpost Schwarzwald Bodensee) featuring a vivid and colourful artwork depicting the portrait of a young woman with views of the Black Forest and the Lake Constance reflecting into her sunglasses. Lake Constance (German: Bodensee) is a lake on the Rhine at the northern foot of the Alps, and consists of three bodies of water: the Obersee or Upper Lake Constance, the Untersee or Lower Lake Constance, and a connecting stretch of the Rhine, called the Seerhein. These waterbodies lie within the Lake Constance Basin (Bodenseebecken), which is part of the Alpine Foreland and through which the Rhine flows. The lake is situated in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. Its shorelines lie in the German states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, the Swiss cantons of St. Gallen, Thurgau, and Schaffhausen, and the Austrian state of Vorarlberg. The Rhine flows into the lake from the south, with its original course forming the Austro-Swiss border, and has its outflow on the "Lower Lake" where — except for Schaffhausen — it forms the German-Swiss border until the city of Basel. The most populous cities on the lake are Constance (German: Konstanz), Friedrichshafen, Radolfzell am Bodensee, Bregenz, and Lindau (Bodensee). The largest islands are Reichenau in the Lower Lake, and Lindau and Mainau in the Upper Lake. Poor condition, tape stains, edges reinforced with tape on reverse, paper losses in corners, cracks and tears. Country: Germany, year of printing: 1960s, designer: Friumy?, size (cm): 84x59
