About the Item
The Motoculteur MABEC advertising poster, designed by Pierre Baudouin in 1950, captures the spirit of mid-20th-century agricultural innovation and modernization. This poster promotes the MABEC motor cultivator, an advanced farming tool adaptable for use with either a rotary tiller or a plow. The advertisement reflects the growing emphasis on mechanization in agriculture during the post-World War II era, when Europe was rebuilding its economies and seeking greater efficiency in food production.
The MABEC motor cultivator was marketed as a versatile and reliable tool for small to medium-sized farms. Its dual functionality, allowing users to attach either a rotary tiller (fraise) or a plow (charrue), made it an indispensable piece of equipment for a wide range of agricultural tasks. This adaptability appealed to farmers who needed to optimize their labor and resources while maintaining productivity on diverse types of land. The cultivator represented a step forward in simplifying and speeding up traditionally labor-intensive activities, from preparing soil for planting to maintaining the health of crops.
The 1950s marked a transformative period in agricultural practices, as mechanized tools became more accessible to everyday farmers. Companies like MABEC played a key role in driving this transition by designing affordable, durable, and efficient machinery. The MABEC motor cultivator embodied this trend, offering cutting-edge solutions to the challenges faced by small-scale farmers striving to modernize their operations.
Pierre Baudouin’s poster emphasizes the practical benefits of the MABEC motor cultivator, aiming to appeal to the working farmer. The promotional material would have highlighted its ease of use, durability, and adaptability to various tasks, showcasing it as a symbol of progress and efficiency. This resonated with a postwar audience eager to adopt new technologies to rebuild and improve their livelihoods.
The Motoculteur MABEC poster by Pierre Baudouin is a valuable artifact from the era of agricultural modernization. It reflects not only the advancements in farming equipment but also the optimism and innovation of the 1950s. Today, it serves as a reminder of the transformative impact of mechanization on agriculture and the enduring appeal of well-designed, practical tools for farmers worldwide.

1923 original poster by Roger Broders for the PLM railway - Salins-les-Bains
By Roger Broders
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1923 original poster by Roger Broders for the Services Automobiles de la route du Jura promoting Salins-les-Bains et le Fort St André is an exquisite example of early 20th-century travel poster design. Commissioned by the P.L.M. (Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée) railway company, this artwork perfectly reflects the charm of the Jura region while showcasing Broders' mastery of composition, color, and visual storytelling.
Roger Broders, one of the most celebrated travel poster artists of the Art Deco era, was renowned for his ability to capture the essence of a destination with elegance and clarity. His posters played a pivotal role in promoting tourism across France during the golden age of travel, often highlighting scenic routes, idyllic landscapes, and picturesque towns.
In this particular work, Broders portrays the serene beauty of the Jura region with his characteristic style: clean lines, harmonious compositions, and a rich yet restrained color palette. The poster invites travelers to explore the famous Salins-les-Bains, a historic spa town celebrated for its saltwater springs, and the iconic Fort Saint-André, a stunning hilltop fortress offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
The artwork vividly conveys the natural splendor of the Jura, with rolling hills, lush greenery, and soft, sunlit skies. The carefully composed scene features winding roads, inviting travelers to journey through the tranquil region aboard the “Services Automobiles”—a service that complemented the P.L.M. railway network by connecting train passengers to remote and scenic destinations by road.
Broders’ attention to detail is unmistakable. His use of warm earth tones and subtle shading creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the landscape. The elegantly stylized typography adds to the poster’s charm, seamlessly integrating the text into the composition without distracting from the artwork itself.
This poster is not only a masterpiece of travel advertising but also a reflection of the growing trend of leisure travel in the early 20th century. As rail travel flourished, companies like P.L.M. recognized the need to promote lesser-known but stunning destinations to affluent tourists seeking adventure, relaxation, and scenic beauty. Broders' work became an essential tool in this effort, helping to define the visual language of travel posters for decades to come.
