At the upper right is the Swiss national shield. Counterbalancing at the lower left is the Olympic rings emblem, with the inscription below, in French: 'JEUX OLYMPIQUES D'HIVER/1948 ST. MORITZ SUISSE'. Poster was designed by Fritz Hellinger, with assistance by the photographer Keerl, and was reproduced as a postcard by the I.O.C. in 1984.
