What it is
An 1897 P.L.M. railway poster for Monaco and Monte-Carlo by Alphonse Mucha, issued by the Affiches Artistiques of the review La Plume. It is number 31 in the Rennert and Weill catalogue of his posters.
Why it matters
Mucha was the most wanted poster artist in Paris after Gismonda in 1894, and the railway bought his name for its Riviera service.
What to notice
The railway initials and the place names are lettered inside Mucha’s decorative frame.
A resort promised as a mood.
