Step into the elegance of the Belle Époque with this original railway poster published by the Chemins de Fer de l’Est around 1907. Promoting train journeys from France to Switzerland and Italy via the St. Gotthard tunnel—an engineering marvel inaugurated in 1882—this poster embodies the golden age of European travel.

The artwork highlights the picturesque charm of the Italian lakes (Maggiore, Como, and Lugano), symbols of refinement and exoticism for early 20th-century travelers. With its luminous composition and vibrant colors, it reflects the style of renowned French poster artists such as Eugène Victor Bourgeois (1855–1909), celebrated for his poetic travel designs commissioned by French railway companies.

Printed in stone lithography, this piece perfectly captures the spirit of the Belle Époque poster—at the crossroads of advertising, decorative art, and tourism promotion. Today, it stands as a rare and highly collectible testimony of railway heritage and early graphic design.

A striking artwork for collectors, travel enthusiasts, or anyone seeking an authentic vintage decorative piece.
