An early promoter of skiing, John Jay (1915-2000) was a notable American ski filmmaker who shared his unique style and passion for skiing, from rope pulls to heli-skiing, through filming, travel adventure lectures, books and articles; he married Lois Goodnow in 1942 and the couple travelled and filmed together; they divorced in 1973. Printed in Austria, for the Austrian Federal Government by Bruder Rosenbaum, Vienna. Good condition, restored tears, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
