For more than a century, famous artists have been designing high-quality posters for the Swiss tourist industry, contributing to the image many people have of the country. This selection of winter themes appears in the book "Paradis à vendre" (Paradise for sale). It was compiled by the "Association des Amis de l'affiche suisse" in Neuchâtel, and published by Patrick Cramer of Geneva.
