ROGER BRODERS (1883-1953) MARSEILLE / POINT DE DÉPART DE LA COTE D'AZUR. Circa 1929.
39x24 inches, 99x61 cm. L. Serre & Cie, Paris.
Condition A- / B+: repaired tear at left edge, into image. Matted and framed.
This poster is a significant departure from Broders' signature style and marks one of the few times he attempts to embrace Machine Age graphics. "In this poster one can feel the influence of Cassandre" (Reclame p. 113), as Broders' depiction of the locomotive is quite similar to that of Cassandre's masterpiece Nord Express, which was printed in 1927. Affiches Art Deco p. 21, Broders p. 82, Perry / Broders p. 36, Reclame 82, Voyage p. 38, Weill 329, Chemins de Fer 151, Marseille p. 57, Golden Age 137, Train 241, Le Train p. 78.
