EDITORS COMMENTS
"This stunning poster, designed by Constant Duval in 1913, invites travelers to embark on a journey from Paris to London via the French railways. The idyllic scene depicted showcases the picturesque views that awaited passengers along the way, with a particular focus on the English South Coast and Windsor Castle. The poster begins at the Gare Saint-Lazare in Paris, where travelers would board the train for their adventure. As they journeyed south, they would pass through the beautiful French countryside, with the rolling hills and winding rivers providing a serene backdrop to their journey. Upon reaching the English Channel, the poster showcases the beautiful views of the English South Coast. The crystal-clear waters of the English Channel are dotted with boats and swans, creating a tranquil and idyllic scene. In the distance, the white cliffs of Dover can be seen, marking the border between France and England. As the train continued its journey, it would pass through the historic town of Dieppe and the bustling port of Newhaven. Finally, the poster reaches its destination, with a breathtaking view of Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, situated on the right bank of the River Thames. The poster's design, by renowned French artist Constant Duval, captures the essence of the journey, with its vibrant colors and intricate details. The poster's beauty and allure would have enticed travelers to embark on this exciting adventure, providing them with memories that would last a lifetime." This poster is not related to any specific railway company but rather a promotional piece for travel between Paris and London via the French railways. It is an excellent example of the travel posters of the 1910s and the artistry of Constant Duval. This poster is available for purchase from Mary Evans Prints Online, courtesy of Mary Evans Picture Library/Onslow Auctions Limited.
