1930s travel poster Animated HTML website template

The sample page

Wellenpost. Paddle steamer on the Traunsee, Gmunden.

The idea

The steamer’s timetable becomes the poster’s hour: every sailing reprints the lithograph stone by stone in the inks of that light.

What to try

Pick a sailing in the timetable to reprint the poster from dawn to dusk and send Frieda off with her wake; move the cursor for parallax and sound the whistle to hear her toot.

Cultural notes

• No real poster, logo or shipping line: the boat, mountain and chapel are generic, illustrated and cut into layers.
• Flat inks with no outlines, a banded sky and block shadows; the misregistration and grain are made with SVG.
• The details live on a separate paper card and the title on the solid wall, never small text over the landscape.

The HTML

• A single index.html file with nothing to install: open it, swap in your brand and copy, and upload it to your hosting.
• In English and Spanish, tested on desktop and mobile.
