What it is
A 1927 poster for the Simplon-Orient-Express, advertising Aleppo in Syria. The route is spelled out from Great Britain through France and Switzerland.
Why it matters
Joseph de La Nézière (1873-1944) drew this for a through-service that by 1927 reached the Middle East by rail. Lucien Serre printed it in Paris.
What to notice
The country list reads like a timetable, left to right across the sheet.
A railway promising the East without a change of carriage.
