The poster was folded once vertically and once horizontally and restoration has been performed along the fold lines and at the center cross fold; air brushing has been performed in the margin areas to address losses; some restored tears/creases in image; this stunning art deco French rail travel poster should display wonderfully once framed.
Original poster for the Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans, advertising the railway's service for transporting private cars at reduced tariff. The slogan turns on the French proverb qui veut voyager loin ménage sa monture, he who would travel far spares his mount, with voiture substituted for monture.
