About the Item

Celebrate the golden age of travel and design with the Loterie Nationale Week-End 1939 SNCF poster — a vibrant creation by renowned French artists Edgar Derouet and Charles Lesacq. Commissioned by the French National Lottery, this striking Art Deco-style piece was designed to promote a special “railway” draw in 1939, capturing the thrill of weekend getaways by train. With its dynamic imagery of a man racing to catch his train, the poster perfectly embodies the spirit of adventure and spontaneity. More than just a lottery advertisement, it’s a nostalgic snapshot of pre-war France — when the promise of a quick escape and a bit of luck could turn an ordinary weekend into something unforgettable. Originally launched in 1933, the French National Lottery quickly won the hearts of the public. This particular draw offered lucky winners the chance to enjoy a railway weekend escape, blending the excitement of travel with the hope of fortune. A must-see for lovers of vintage travel art, French history, and timeless design. This original vintage travel poster has been professionally linen-backed and is sized 15 5/8 x 23 1/2 inches (plus a couple more inches for the linen). It will be sent rolled (unframed).
