1927 lithograph by Hedwig Thoma captures Basel in bold color and clean shapes. The Rhine curves across the foreground toward the red-sandstone Basel Minster—its twin towers anchoring a skyline shaped by Romanesque roots and later Gothic rebuilds. Thoma’s simplified forms and strong contrasts reflect the Swiss poster-art style of the late 1920s, designed to catch the eye in bustling travel halls. The bridge hints at Basel’s life at the crossroads of Switzerland, France and Germany, where trade and culture mingle. This vintage artwork feels fresh — perfect for lovers of antique-style travel imagery, lithography and European history.
