Original French lithographic poster created by the artist Hubot in 1920 to promote the celebrated Foire de Lyon (Lyon Trade Fair), one of France’s most important commercial and industrial exhibitions. Published in connection with the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranee (PLM) Railway, the poster advertised the fair’s two annual sessions, held March 1-15 and October 1-15.
The striking composition features an allegorical male figure seated upon a monumental pedestal, holding a shield bearing the historic coat of arms of Lyon, including the city’s heraldic lion and fleurs-de-lis. Behind him, the rooftops and distinctive towers of Lyon rise against a brilliant golden-yellow sky. The dramatic combination of warm reds, golden yellow, and deep blue creates a powerful image celebrating the city’s commercial vitality and industrial importance.
Established in 1916, the Foire de Lyon quickly became an important showcase for French manufacturing, commerce, and international trade. The PLM Railway helped promote the fair through colorful lithographic posters designed to attract visitors from throughout France and beyond. This impressive 1920 design, signed and dated Hubot 20 in the lithographic image, is an excellent example of French railway and exhibition advertising from the period.

La Mure d’Isere – PLM
Oraim, 1928
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.
