The poster depicts people representing different winter sports played at Arosa, Switzerland.

Lying at an elevation of 1,800 meters (5,904 feet) amid forests and tiny lakes, the village of Arosa, in Canton Graubunden, has attracted visitors since an impoverished widow named Eva Ardusen began taking in paying guests from Chur in the mid-19th Century.

Arosa was discovered by the outside world in 1883, when Dr. Otto Herwig-Hold, on a skiing tour of the remote mountains south of Chur, came across the little community --- a perfect spot to build his new tuberculosis sanatorium. The chest patients of old have long since given way to winter- and summer-sports enthusiasts.
