Pictured here illuminated by the setting sun, is the magnificent Ca' d'Oro (Golden Palace) on Venice's Grand Canal; its original, ornate golden facade is lost to time. The building has been a museum since 1927. The Simplon Express began running in 1906 with the opening of the Simplon tunnel. Although unsigned, this work bears resemblance to other posters designed by Mario Borgoni.
