39 1/4x24 1/2 inches. Lucien Serre, Paris.
Condition B+: repaired tears in bottom and left edges; repaired tear through top margin into image.
The Ctesiphen Arch outside of Baghdad is pictured in shades of brown and orange advertising the Orient Express route from London to Baghdad in only 8 days. Implying either sunrise or sunset in the dessert, the heavily shaded structure under a cloudless blue sky appears as an attractive and interesting get-away for cold Londoners. Broders p. 107.
