Poster for the PLM Railways by Eric Coulon c1930 there is also the indication of Dauphine which is a part of France that covers several departments today. Dauphin is actually the heir apparent of France. Many things in this region are titled Dauphine including a well known journal today.
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.

Rome, Venice, Pompeii, Milan and Florence – Carlo Cussetti, 1900
Original 1900 Italian travel poster designed by Carlo Cussetti and printed at the Ateliers Hugo D’Alesi in Paris. This poster was created for the French public to promote travel to Italy, presenting finely detailed vignettes of Rome, Venice, Pompeii, Milan, and Florence around a central panoramic view of Rome. Cussetti, active at the turn of the century, captured the cultural prestige of Italy at a moment when tourism was being encouraged through large-scale advertising lithographs.
This example is in excellent condition, professionally backed on linen. The colors remain rich and the imagery sharp, a testament to the quality of early 20th-century French lithographic printing. Posters of this type produced by Hugo D’Alesi’s atelier are valued for both their artistic merit and their role in shaping the visual culture of European travel.
