EDITORS COMMENTS
Step aboard the Compagnie de L Ouest's express train and embark on an unforgettable journey from the heart of Paris to the shores of England. This stunning poster, designed by the renowned French artist Jules-Alexandre Grun in 1899, invites travelers to experience the beauty and excitement of a Belle Époque adventure. The image captures the essence of the journey, with a French policeman standing proudly at the Gare Saint-Lazare, ready to assist passengers as they board the overnight express train bound for Britain. The train, adorned with the Compagnie de L Ouest logo, winds its way through the French countryside, leaving a trail of smoke in its wake. On the other side of the English Channel, the sun rises over the vibrant and welcoming shores of England. The iconic towers of London and the bustling streets of Brighton's South Coast beckon, inviting travelers to explore the wonders of a new land. Grun's use of bold colors and dynamic composition perfectly captures the spirit of travel during the Belle Époque era. This poster is a testament to the allure of train travel and the sense of adventure that came with it. Whether you're a history buff, a train enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of art and design, this poster is a must-have addition to any collection.
