Swiss National Exhibition Berne
1914
Emil Cardinaux created this iconic poster to hype up the 1914 Swiss National Exhibition in Bern, and it definitely delivers on drama. A sturdy rider on a dappled horse strides confidently across the foreground, waving a massive yellow flag adorned with Swiss emblems like the red cross. Behind him, the Alps rise up over a quaint town with red roofs, painting a perfect picture of Swiss identity. This design is considered a landmark in Swiss graphic design, capturing a moment of national pride right before the outbreak of World War I.
