This original French travel poster was commissioned by the PLM Railways (Paris–Lyon–Méditerranée) to promote travel to La Mure, a commune in the Isère department in southeastern France.
The composition uses strong, vibrant color, dominated by yellow and blue tones. The town of La Mure is depicted in an en plein air style, emphasizing light and atmosphere rather than strict architectural detail. The lower portion of the poster is divided into two scenic vignettes: at left, Les Lacs, featuring a statue of a man on horseback set within a mountainous landscape; at right, the Chemins de Fer Électrique de La Mure, illustrating the region’s electric railway line and its dramatic route through the terrain.
The poster reflects the PLM’s broader effort during the interwar period to promote regional tourism by combining landscape, infrastructure, and cultural landmarks within a single image. It is a representative example of French railway advertising from the late 1920s.

This beautiful original travel poster, “Visitez La Tunisie” (Visit Tunisia), was created by the artist Yahia to promote tourism to Tunisia during the postwar period. Printed in Paris by Rene Sicard, it features a warm and atmospheric Art Deco-inspired composition showing figures walking through a sunlit Tunisian town with traditional architecture and Mediterranean light.
Yahia’s artwork captures the romantic vision of North Africa as presented in mid-century French travel campaigns—combining painterly detail with refined graphic design. The result is a serene and inviting image that exemplifies the charm of 1950s French poster art.
The poster is currently not linen-backed. Professional museum-quality linen-backing can be provided upon request, with an estimated two-week turnaround before shipping.

An original lithographic cover from the French humor magazine Le Rire, issue no. 129, published on 14 April 1897. Titled Snobisme, the composition was designed by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec during one of the most productive periods of his career. Le Rire was among the leading illustrated satirical magazines of the Belle Époque and frequently featured original artwork by many of the era’s most important artists. Although issued as a magazine cover rather than as a separately published poster, examples have become increasingly desirable for their artistic quality, historical importance, and direct association with Toulouse-Lautrec’s celebrated graphic work.
