ROGER BRODERS (1883-1953) LE TOUR DU MT. BLANC. 1927.
42 1/4x30 3/4 inches, 107 1/2x78 cm. Lucien Serre, Paris.
Condition A: punch-holes in right margin.
One of the more 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. Alpi / Manifesti 36, Broders p. 68, Perry / Broders p. 63, Hillion p. 251, Voyage p. 36, Golden Age 138.
