ROGER BRODERS LE TOUR DU MT BLANC. 1927.
413/4x293/4 inches. Lucien Serre & Co., Paris.
Condition B+: repaired tears, overpainting and restored losses in margins and image.
One of the unique images 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) as opposed to his normally straightforward landscapes. It is also his only poster to employ metallic gold ink. Borders p. 68, Perry / Broders p. 63, Alps 36, Montagne p. 257, Voyage p. 36.
