A large selection of French travel posters with many from the PLM or Paris Lyon Mediterrannee Railways. The Chemin des Fers or Railway lines of France were independent companies prior to the turn of the century in 1900. In Paris there was a different train station for each train line ie: Gare de Lyon serviced the east and south of France. Slowly the PLM brought together all the different Chemins de Fer and it was during this period up until 1937 that many of the most famous French travel posters were created. However it did not stop there and in 1937 the SNCF took over the PLM and standardized the posters to 24x39 inches to fit in to a standard frame at trains stations and travel agencies. We have a large selection and are getting new ones in all the time
