What it is
An 1894 poster for the Midland Great Western Railway of Ireland, offering tours in Connemara, Galway, Achill and the west.
Why it matters
It predates the Killarney pair by a decade, from d'Alési's earlier address at 4 place Monge, and was printed by A. Bellier & Cie in Paris.
What to notice
Three place names share the headline, so the poster sells a region rather than a resort.
The Atlantic edge of Ireland, one ticket away.
