What it is
A 1920 poster for the Chemins de fer d'Alsace et de Lorraine, advertising Strasbourg. It was printed by the Imprimerie Alsacienne in Strasbourg and signed G.
Why it matters
Alsace and Lorraine had returned to France in 1918, and the region's railway was soon selling the cathedral city to French travellers.
What to notice
The artist signed with a single initial, and the BnF record goes no further.
A city reintroduced to its own country.
