About this poster

This magnificient Art Deco poster promoting the Mont-Blanc Railway is one of Broder’s best images. The French-text version of this image reads "To the Col de Voza via St. Gervais, Mont-Blanc Railroad." This was evidently a day trip: the chic-looking skiers are coming off the train at this "station" of snow without luggage, at the very foot of the slopes. The colorful sweaters against the white evoke a crisp, exhilarating Alpine day. A highly collectible poster of the famous French poster artist Roger Broders who was a French poterist and illustrator working in the early 1920s. In his travel posters, he developed a simple design in tourism format that showcased the travel destination with bold colours and minimal text.
