About the Item
This stunning circa 1930 travel poster by Maurice Toussaint captures the charm of Lannion, a historic town in Brittany, France. Commissioned by the SNCF (Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français) as part of its La Bretagne pittoresque series, the artwork showcases one of the town’s most iconic landmarks: the Escalier de Brélevenez, a grand stone staircase leading to the Église de Brélevenez, a medieval church overlooking the town.
Toussaint, renowned for his detailed and atmospheric illustrations, renders the scene with a masterful play of light and shadow, emphasizing the textures of the stone steps, the rustic charm of half-timbered houses, and the lively movement of townspeople. The poster evokes a sense of nostalgia and wanderlust, inviting travelers to discover the picturesque beauty of Brittany.
During the early 20th century, railway companies like the SNCF produced artistic posters to promote domestic tourism, showcasing France’s regional heritage. La Bretagne pittoresque was a particularly beloved series, celebrating the region’s unique landscapes, traditions, and architectural gems. Toussaint’s contribution stands out for its elegance, historical accuracy, and romanticized vision of Brittany’s coastal towns.
Today, this poster remains a sought-after collector’s item, admired for its vintage aesthetic and historical significance, transporting viewers to the timeless beauty of Lannion’s Brélevenez staircase.
