French Travel Posters: A Journey Through Time
Explore our extensive collection of French travel posters, featuring many from the iconic PLM (Paris Lyon Mediterranée) Railways.
• Chemin de Fer Legacy: Before 1900, France’s railway companies operated independently, each with its own station, like Gare de Lyon for eastern and southern routes.
• The PLM Era: Between the late 19th century and 1937, the PLM unified the networks, creating some of the most celebrated French travel posters.
• SNCF Standardization: In 1937, the SNCF standardized poster sizes (24×39 inches), maintaining their artistic appeal while fitting station and agency frames.
• Growing Collection: Our inventory is constantly expanding with new additions.
