In the period between the wars, Roger Broders was the finest designer of French travel posters. Many, including many of his best, were for the French railways–in fact, the majority of them were for a single company: the Paris-Lyon-MediterranÈe. Because the PLM line of the French railway system provided service to the country’s southern ports, it often advertised the attractions of destinations across the water. This beautiful Broders poster is for Calvi Beach on the island of Corsica. The flat bright colors of the figures and foreground contrast with the naturalistic hues and shading of the water and town. The main figure’s face is a picture of Mediterranean bliss. This is the French version.
