The image captures a vibrant red display panel showcasing historical information about winter sports and mountain tourism in Chile. The panel features three main framed exhibits. The top-left is a black and white poster titled "DEPORTES DE INVIERNO" (Winter Sports), depicting skiers and a map with locations like Portillo. Text on the poster advertises "BOLITOS CON 30% DE REBAJA" (Tickets with 30% Discount) and mentions "FF. CC. DEL E." (State Railways). The caption beneath identifies it as from "Revista En Viaje" (En Viaje Magazine), part of the "Colección Biblioteca Nacional de Chile" (National Library of Chile Collection), with reference number MC0014456. Adjacent to it, on the top-right, is another black and white image, possibly a magazine cover, titled "En viaje". It shows two women in ski attire standing with ski poles against a snowy mountain backdrop. Its caption also states "Revista En Viaje," dated "1950," and indicates it's from the "Colección Biblioteca Nacional de Chile," with reference number MC0014458. The bottom-left exhibit displays a colorized photograph of three men mountaineering or hiking on an icy or snowy glacier. They are equipped with ice axes and appear to be navigating challenging terrain. Below this image is a large block of text titled "Turismo de montaña" (Mountain Tourism). It details how winter sports and ski resorts captivated international tourists in Chile. Specifically, it states that "En Viaje" reported in 1950 that over 15,000 tourists visited southern Chile that year, with 70% being foreigners who contributed 20 million pesos to the national economy, equivalent to approximately 18.4 billion pesos today. A partially visible section on the right side of the panel includes text about a "Guia del veraneante" (Vacationer's Guide) from "1955" by "Biblioteca MHN". A torn, light-colored paper is stuck to the red panel, obscuring some text near this guide. Further right, a sliver of another panel is visible with text, including "nacional de" and "Siglo XX."
