GEORGES DORIVAL (1879-1968) ROME / PAR LA VOIE DU MONT - CENIS. 40 3/4x29 1/4 inches, 103 1/2x74 1/4 cm. Robaudy, Cannes. Condition B+: repaired tears and staining in margins, into image. The 13 km-long Alpine tunnel through Mount Cenis was completed in 1871, linking France's department of La Savoie with Italy's province of Turin. To encourage travelers on what was now a much shorter trip, the French Railway PLM used this evocatively colored image of Roman ruins to lure passengers to the Italian capital. Voyage p. 139, Viaggio in Italia p. 108.
