This gorgeous & rare poster for SNCF was designed by the great poster and graphic designer Abel. This original 1956 "Alsace – Discover France by Train" poster celebrates one of France's most picturesque regions through the golden age of railway travel. Featuring vibrant, welcoming artwork that highlights Alsace's charming villages, vineyards, and distinctive half-timbered architecture, the design reflects the elegance and optimism of mid-century French travel advertising.

France's celebrated railway poster campaigns helped define twentieth-century travel advertising, promoting the country's diverse landscapes and cultural heritage through the work of many of its finest commercial artists. The piece is in mint condition with vibrant colour.
