What it is
An 1895 P.L.M. poster of the bay at Évian-les-Bains on Lake Geneva.
Why it matters
Tanconville was the signature of Henry Ganier (1845-1936), who drew the P.L.M.'s Alpine resorts. Berger-Levrault of Nancy printed it.
What to notice
The signature on the sheet is the pseudonym; the BnF record names the man behind it.
A lake resort, reached by train from Paris.
