What it is
A 1904 travel poster for the Great Southern & Western Railway, advertising the Lakes of Killarney. Tours were booked through the superintendent of the line at Kingsbridge, Dublin.
Why it matters
Hugo d'Alési ran a Paris workshop that sold what it called simili-aquarelle posters, lithographs made to look like watercolour. Irish railways bought them as French ones did.
What to notice
The workshop's own name is printed on the sheet beside the railway's.
Ireland seen through a French painter's eye.
