About the Item
This vintage French travel poster, titled Touraine – Château de Chambord, was created around 1910 by noted landscape painter and chromolithographer Louis Tauzin (1842–1915). Commissioned by the Chemins de Fer d'Orléans (Orléans Railway), the poster was part of a broader campaign promoting rail travel to France’s most scenic and historic destinations.
Depicted in rich color and romantic detail, the Château de Chambord stands at the heart of the Loire Valley, in the region of Touraine. Built in the 16th century by King Francis I as a royal hunting lodge, the château is celebrated for its immense scale and remarkable fusion of French medieval tradition with classical Renaissance architecture — a symbol of royal ambition and artistic innovation.
Tauzin, a prolific figure in the golden age of French poster art, was widely known for his work promoting tourism, leisure, and commerce. As head of studio at the esteemed Parisian lithography house Champenois, he played a key role in shaping the visual identity of early 20th-century French advertising. His poster for Touraine – Château de Chambord exemplifies the elegance and allure that made the French railway posters of this period so enduringly iconic.
This original vintage travel poster has been professionally linen-backed and is sized 28 3/4 x 41 1/8 inches (plus a couple more inches for the linen). It will be sent rolled (unframed).
