Background Finland must have been a novel destination for the French in 1950: hence the locator map springing from the cheery traveller's pocket. Ahtiala (1913-1983) was a leading Finnish graphic artist and typographer from the 1930s to the 1960s. An English-language version of the poster was also published.
