Laubi, an illustrator and poster designer, became Art Director at the Fretz Brothers printing house in
1918, for whom he created numerous posters advertising PKZ and various Swiss travel destinations. He
designed this poster in 1924 as a generic image promoting St. Moritz, with a depiction of one of the
horse races on the frozen lake which took place annually in the town since the early 20th century
until the outbreak of WWII. In at least two subsequent years, the image was reused with overprinting
advertising that year’s horse races. In 1939, the image of the horses alone, without any background,
was also used to promote the race. Laubi’s passion for horses in the rest of his life inspired his continued
artistic depictions of them, and horses became a recurring motif in his career.
