1941 Bern Switzerland Vintage Travel Poster – Leutenegger, Justice Fountain Svizzera Lithograph
Original Bern Switzerland vintage travel poster created in 1941 by artist Leutenegger, featuring the historic Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen (Fountain of Justice) in the Old City of Bern. This powerful Swiss travel poster depicts the famous statue of Justice holding the scales and sword, symbolizing fairness and authority. The dramatic perspective and rich color palette make this piece a striking example of classic European vintage travel poster design.
The artwork highlights the 16th‑century Justice Fountain, one of the most important historic monuments in Bern. Located along the Gerechtigkeitsgasse in the UNESCO‑recognized Old Town, the fountain was long celebrated as a cultural landmark of Switzerland. The statue of Justice, shown blindfolded and holding balanced scales, stands above figures representing worldly authority, reinforcing the symbolism of justice above all power.
Printed by Kümmerly & Frey in Bern, Switzerland, this authentic original lithograph vintage poster reflects the golden age of European tourism advertising. The strong composition, historic symbolism, and deep colors make it an exceptional example of collectible Swiss travel poster art.
This original vintage poster has been professionally archival linen backed and is offered in B condition with minor wear, preserving the integrity of this historic piece while making it ready for framing and display.
