JEAN RAOUL NAURACLONDRES VICHY PULLMAN. 1927. 42 1/8x31 inches. Lucien Serre, Paris. Condition A. On May 14, 1927 a new service was initiated for travelers to take a direct, luxurious journey from London to the French spa of Vichy. Printed in April, 1927 this poster was most likely promoting the innaugural trip, and would have very much appealed to the first class sensibilities of those who would be making the trip, depicting affluent grace and style in an Art Deco manner. "The full splendor of luxury travel in the 1930s comes out in this joint Nord Wagons Lits-PLM design. The symetrical perspective and picking out and highlighting of details of the interior fittings set up a virtual three-dimensional effect" (Golden Age p. 123)Tourism #3, le Train 243, Golden Age 143.
