Description

These days, nostalgic visions of France go hand in hand with early twentieth-century train travel in large part because of colorful posters created by railway companies and hotels to boost tourism. These artworks used vibrant, jewel-like hues to adorn lush vistas, quaint fishing villages, and rail routes hugging rocky mountainsides. The twelve posters reproduced in this calendar come primarily from the interwar period, boom years for French tourism.
