Additional Details:
The artist Maurice Barbey, specialized in artistic cartography and tourist posters, here signs a work that is both functional and aesthetic, designed to appeal to travelers eager for natural and cultural discoveries.
This magnificent illustrated poster, published in July 1927 by the P.O. Midi and P.L.M. railway companies, promotes the Gorges du Tarn and the famous Aven Armand, a geological masterpiece of the Cévennes.
Conceived as an illustrated tourist map, it offers an overview of the main rail links and coach tours departing from major regional cities such as Vichy, Le Puy, Valence, Carcassonne, or Millau.
The poster is punctuated with superb picturesque views of iconic places, such as Rocamadour, Carcassonne, or Le Puy-en-Velay, created in a lively and colorful graphic style, characteristic of the interwar period.
The use of bold colors, the stylized topographical details, and the illustrations framing the map testify to the rise of rail tourism in 1920s France.
