The artist behind the Montreux Ski poster

Edouard Elzingre was a Swiss artist, illustrator, and poster designer who was born in 1880 in Neuchatel. During his career, he created dozens of posters many of which were highly influential at the time. Elzingre was a prolific artist who produced a wide range of posters during the early twentieth century. Though he is best known for his equestrian-themed designs, he also created a variety of travel and advertising posters. His Concours Hippique International posters are some of his most iconic works, but he also produced well-known designs for the 1914 Olympic Games and various Swiss ski resorts. Elzingre’s unique use of color and clean, simplified lines set him apart from many of his contemporaries, and his work continues to be highly sought-after by collectors today.

If these do appear they should be visible on the larger views of the item on this listing.
