Description
A picturesque French travel poster depicting the Grund historical district in Luxembourg, which sits on the banks of the Alzette river in Southern Luxembourg City.
Through the 1920s, the railroads were the primary producer of travel posters, which were important in promoting ticket sales. The five railways radiating from Paris advertised extensively and sought to brand their lines through the use of devices such as the distinctive “window frame” format in the poster seen here.
