About the Item
This vintage travel poster, Route des Alpes, was created by renowned French illustrator René Péan to promote the scenic beauty of the French Alps and the legendary Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée (PLM) railway. The artwork captures the dramatic landscape of the Massif de l’Oisans and the Gorges de la Romanche, showcasing the region’s deep valleys, towering peaks, and winding roads.
Rendered in a painterly style with soft, naturalistic colors, the poster immerses the viewer in the awe-inspiring terrain.
This poster was commissioned by the PLM Railway, one of France’s most influential railway companies, which played a crucial role in opening up the Alps and the Mediterranean coast to tourism in the early 20th century. Posters like this were essential in attracting travelers, enticing them with the promise of adventure, natural beauty, and luxury rail journeys.
René Péan (1875–1955) was a celebrated French poster artist known for his evocative travel advertisements. His style combined realism with a romanticized sense of adventure, making his works highly sought after. His mastery of light, color, and composition is evident in Route des Alpes.
This is an original vintage poster, not a reproduction. It has been conservation mounted, linen-backed, and is in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all our posters.
