ROGER BRODERS (1883-1953)

LE TOUR DU MT. BLANC. 1927.


42½x31 inches, 108x78¾ cm. Lucien Serre, Paris.
Condition A: minor creases in margins.

One of the more unique compositions in Broders' exceptional portfolio of travel posters, in that it provides a creative, figurative description of the scene. For tours around Mt. Blanc, he shows one of the railway buses spiraling around the mountain, along the text. It is also his only poster to employ metallic gold ink.

Alpi / Manifesti 36, Broders p. 68, Perry / Broders p. 63, Hillion p. 251, Voyage p. 36, Golden Age 138.
