$ 1,250Téléphérique Du Mont Veyrier – Lac D’Annecy – 1939 – Henry Reb
This beautiful 1939 French travel poster by Henry Reb promotes the Téléphérique du Mont Veyrier overlooking Lake Annecy in the French Alps.
The colorful composition combines several of the region’s great attractions: the cable car climbing to the mountaintop hotel and restaurant, a sweeping panorama toward Mont Blanc, and the famous paddle steamer La France crossing Lake Annecy below.
The Mont Veyrier cable car carried visitors from the lakeshore to spectacular panoramic views above Annecy and remained in operation until the 1980s. Created shortly after the formation of the SNCF, the poster captures the elegance and optimism of French Alpine tourism just before World War II. A wonderful image of Lake Annecy combining mountains, lake, cable car and classic French travel.
