This beautiful reproduction poster has been re-mastered from a Splitkein Ski poster, advertising the Lincoln Hotel and ski resorts located in Lincoln, New Hampshire. This image was originally painted by commercial artist, Harald Damsleth in 1938, and various ski resorts added their names to the unsigned version of the stock art in the following years.
The high-resolution image is printed on heavy archival photo paper, on a large-format, professional giclée process printer. The poster is shipped in a rigid cardboard tube, and is ready for framing.
The 13"x19" and 24”x36” formats are excellent image sizes that look great as a stand-alone piece of art, or as a grouped visual statement. These posters require no cutting, trimming, or custom sizing, and a wide variety of these frames are readily available at your local craft or hobby retailer, and online.
A great vintage print for your home, business, or mountain cabin!
LINCOLN NEW HAMPSHIRE HISTORY & SPLITKEIN SKIS
Lincoln is a town in Grafton County, New Hampshire. It is the second-largest town by area in New Hampshire. The population was 1,631 at the 2020 census. The town is home to the New Hampshire Highland Games and to a portion of Franconia Notch State Park. Set in the White Mountains, large portions of the town are within the White Mountain National Forest. The Appalachian Trail crosses the western and northeastern parts of the town. Lincoln is the location of Loon Mountain Ski Resort and associated recreation-centered development.
The primary settlement in town, where 969 people resided at the 2020 census, is defined as the Lincoln census-designated place (CDP) and is located along New Hampshire Route 112 east of Interstate 93. The town also includes the former village sites of Stillwater and Zealand (sometimes known as Pullman) in the town's remote eastern and northern sections respectively, which are now within the White Mountain National Forest.
Tourism is today the principal business. Nearby Loon Mountain has long drawn skiers, and in recent years has attempted to convert itself into a four-season attraction. The Flume is one of the most visited attractions in the state. Discovered in 1808, it is a natural canyon extending 800 feet at the base of Mount Liberty. Walls of Conway granite rise to a height of 70 to 90 feet and are only 12 to 20 feet apart.
In the 1860s, Samuel Leeds Allen established the S. L. Allen Co. to manufacture farm equipment, and various other items he invented. The manufacturer slowed during the winter months, so Allen added a line of snow sport products to supplement his line. Allen was a "coasting" enthusiast since his youth, and he developed the Flexible Flyer sled. The sled became a winter favorite, enjoyed by generations of American children. As a further diversification, S. L. Allen Company made wooden skis, especially during World War II.
In the 1930s, Splitkein developed the laminated skis, and S. L. Allen used its Flexible Flyer name to partner with Splitkein and produce laminated wooden skis. The Splitkein ski brand was manufactured by several different ski companies, with strict specifications for construction. The Mercury line was a low-priced, hickory ridge-top ski brand of Flexible Flyer. When metal skis became popular in the late 1950s, Flexible Flyer wooden skis faded from the marketplace.
