Lake Maggiore Ferry Ticket

6

This ferry ticket is from 1958, from a dutch family's vacation scrapbook. There is a main ‘day pass’ ferry ticket and a small bonus ticket for entry to a 'palace and gardens'.

The device of the red stripe across the 2 ticket seems practical, and makes one wonder how it was used by the ferry company. 

The mix of typefaces really sums up the location: Mixing Swiss cleanliness and Italian style. The slight wonkiness of the type and stamped lettering add a charm to the grid layout.
