Description
A bilingual English-German steamship advertisement promoting weekly tourist cruises aboard the first-class steamer 'Mira,' operated by Det Bergenske Dampskibsselskab (Bergen Steamship Company), departing Bergen every Monday at 10 p.m. during summer 1909. The route traverses the Fjords of Western Norway, including Hardanger, Sognefjord, Geirangerfjord, Romsdal, Molde, and Nordfjord — a region renowned for its dramatic glacially carved waterways stretching inland from the west coast of Norway. The typographic poster, printed in dark brown ink on cream stock, reflects the Edwardian-era growth of leisure travel to Scandinavia, with fare and booking details listed in both languages for an international audience.
