Item Overview

Description

Sports d'Hiver en France. 1935.A very imaginative use of photomontage highlights this poster for the French Railroad's offer of reduced fares to get you to the slopes. The skiers and their terrain are illustrated, but the impressive locomotive dominating the foreground is photographic. The design cleverly suggests that the French rail network is so vast that they will be able to deposit you directly at the ski resort of your choice.
ANDRE GIROUX (1895-1965)
