Henri Ganier de Taconville created La Jungfrau around 1900. Courmont Frères in Paris printed this lithographic travel poster, promoting Switzerland’s Jungfrau region. It features a woman on horseback, accompanied by a man and two women, with snow-capped mountains in the background. The text includes La Jungfrau, P.L.M., and Billets à Prix Réduits, highlighting discounted travel fares.
Taconville (1845–1936) specialized in travel posters, often working with Courmont Frères. His detailed artwork helped attract tourists in the early 20th century. Courmont Frères, a respected Parisian printing company, produced high-quality lithographic posters for travel and cultural events.
This poster is a rare example of early travel advertising. It combines vivid imagery with promotional messaging, encouraging travelers to explore the beauty of the Swiss Alps.
