SNCF French Alps 1952 Railway Advertising Travel Poster

The French Alps, seen through a railway carriage window. This 1952 SNCF travel poster turns the frame of the train into the design itself, opening onto snowy peaks, green valleys and a blue alpine lake.

It is a clever piece of post-war tourism advertising: the journey and destination are shown in a single glance. Soft painted landscape meets crisp modern lettering, with a lovely sense of escape.

This original poster has been professionally linen-backed and is sized approx. 24 1/2 x 39 inches (plus a little including the linen-backing). It will be sent rolled (unframed).
