Artist: Constant Leon Duval, (1877-1956) From 1910 until the nationalization of the French railways in 1937, Constant Duval created many posters highlighting the various networks. He deploys his landscaping talent to illustrate the natural sites accessible through the railway. One of the most sought-after illustrators of this period, these posters are most often printed in Paris, notably Champenois until 1920, and other houses like Joseph Charles, Lucien Serre & Cie afterward.
Many of his posters have been reissued since the 1990s and the originals enjoy a high rating among collectors.

Description: This is a beautiful and brightly colored poster for the French Orleans railway. Near mint condition and rare. How many of these nearly 100 year old posters can be left in the world? This one, like all of our posters, has been conservation backed to last for generations.
