This is a vintage travel poster from 1933, designed by the renowned French poster artist Roger Broders. It was issued to promote travel via the Alsace and Lorraine Railways and features the iconic title "Le Rhin." The image captures a serene, colorful depiction of the Rhine River, bordered by lush green fields, tall cypress trees, and a picturesque rural path. Along the path, a horse-drawn cart and figures in traditional clothing enhance the pastoral charm of the scene.
Broders’ distinct style, known for its bold colors, clean lines, and romanticized landscapes, is clearly evident here. This classic travel artwork remains a quintessential example of early 20th-century European railway advertising and has enduring appeal among collectors of vintage posters.
The poster is backed on old linen, with small tears, creases at the edges, and minor wear in the image area, typical signs of aging for a piece from this era.Â
