PAOLO FEDERICO GARRETTO EXPRESS. 1937. 391/4x241/2 inches. L. Danel, Paris. Condition B+: repaired tears in margins; minor foxing in image.. Promoting the speed with which France's cargo railways can transport packages or letters, Garetto depicts a train carrying an "urgent" shipment in such motion as to almost be blurry. The speed of the aerodynamic train is accentuated by the wing-shaped plume of smoke emitting from its chimney. Overlapping a stylized map of France, the train appears to be all over the country at once, which is just the idea the advertisers want to impart to the public.
