A rider on a white horse passes palms before golden Caucasus peaks

This Soviet-era travel poster for the Caucasus region — teal and gold, bold and geometrically confident — was produced to promote domestic Soviet tourism during the mid-20th century. The Caucasus: mountains, ancient cultures, the boundary between Europe and Asia, and the particular romance that Soviet graphic designers found in the republics beyond Russia. A striking example of Soviet constructivist design applied to leisure and travel.

Printed on Hahnemühle German Etching paper — the same stock museum studios use — through a twelve-ink archival pigment process that holds colour the way memory holds detail: precisely, completely. Frames are solid ash and oak, hand-made to order. Nothing between you and the image.
