Graz
One sheet vintage travel poster promoting the city of Graz
, the capital of the Austrian state of Styria. The poster was designed by the Austrian painter Daniel Pauluzzi (1866-1956) in the early 1900s.
The poster depicts a scenic view of the city, focusing on the Mur River and the prominent Schlossberg (Castle Hill) with its iconic Clock Tower (Uhrturm). The text on the poster highlights Graz as a renowned, healthy, and scenically magnificent location, mentioning its population, convenient rail connections to major European cities like Vienna, Triest, Berlin, and Munich, its university, and key attractions.
Key Attractions Mentioned
The poster lists several local points of interest, many of which are still major attractions today:

Schlossberg: The central hill with the historic fortress ruins and famous Clock Tower (Uhrturm), the city's emblem.
Museum (Joanneum): Refers to the Joanneum Provincial Museum, one of the oldest museums in Austria.
Landhaus: A significant Renaissance building featuring an impressive Italianate arcaded courtyard.
Zeughaus (Armoury): The Styrian Armoury, which houses the world's largest historical collection of weapons and armor.
Mausoleum: The Mausoleum of Emperor Ferdinand II.
Glockenspiel: A mechanical clock with dancing figures that chimes three times a day in Glockenspiel Platz.
Grosse städtische Parke u. Waldanlagen: Large city parks and forests surrounding the area.

The historic center of Graz, including the area shown in the poster and the nearby Eggenberg Palace, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999 and 2010 respectively, recognizing its well-preserved architecture and cultural significance.
