Original 1939 lithograph by Robert Falcucci, printed by Imprimerie d’Art et Tourisme for the French National Railways (SNCF). This striking design promotes travel to the Vallée de Chevreuse, a picturesque region just southwest of Paris celebrated for its rolling hills, historic villages, and natural beauty. Falcucci illustrates the Vaux de Cernay, with reference to the Château de Dampierre and the Abbey of Port-Royal, landmarks tied closely to the area’s cultural history. At the time, the Vallée was also known as a circuit for early automobile tours beginning at Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse, making this a poster that intersects both tourism and motoring heritage.
The poster is mounted on linen and preserved in excellent condition, rated “A,” with fresh colors and strong impression. A fine example of Falcucci’s work for French railways, combining elegance of design with a timeless subject that remains a favorite excursion for Parisians.

Walasse Ting (1929–2010) was a Chinese-born artist whose work bridges Abstract Expressionism, CoBrA, and Pop Art. After early exhibitions in Hong Kong, he settled in Paris where he associated with artists such as Pierre Alechinsky while remaining independent of any formal movement. His work combines elements of traditional Chinese painting with a modern, expressive, and highly gestural style, often focusing on recurring subjects such as women, horses, and flowers. Ting described himself as an autodidact, working freely between Eastern and Western influences, and was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1970.

Lithographic plate reproducing the poster design Zolfi by Ettore Malerba, issued as part of the well-known Ricordi Portfolio. This series presented a selection of important poster designs printed by the Ricordi publishing house during the height of the Italian poster movement between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The portfolio gathered together small-format reproductions of these works and was distributed internationally in the early twentieth century.
Casa Ricordi of Milan, originally a music publisher closely associated with the Italian opera world, developed a major lithographic printing workshop in the late nineteenth century. Through its printing department the firm produced posters for music, theatre, and commercial clients and became a central force in the development of the Italian poster. The artists working with Ricordi helped define the Italian version of Art Nouveau, often referred to as Stile Liberty.
Leopoldo Metlicovitz (1868–1944) was one of the principal designers associated with Ricordi. His posters and illustrations are recognized for their elegant compositions and refined color work, and he contributed numerous designs for theatre, publishing, and advertising.
