Thonon-les-Bains – Vintage tourist poster

This reproduction of a tourist poster, created by Roger Broders in 1929 for the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranean Railway Company (PLM), showcases Thonon-les-Bains, a spa town on the shores of Lake Geneva. The poster captures the region's summer atmosphere with warm, bright colors, evoking the warmth of sunny days.

In the foreground, a sailing boat, typical of the region's lakeside landscapes, glides across the calm waters of the lake, its white sails elegantly unfurled. In the background, the town of Thonon stretches along the shore, creating a harmonious contrast with the majestic mountains rising in the background, adding depth and grandeur to the scene.

The choice of warm colors, ranging from golden yellows to soft oranges, as well as the careful composition, capture the very essence of summer by the lake. The poster embodies the idea of relaxation and natural beauty, typical of luxury tourist destinations of the time.

This work is a perfect example of 1920s advertising art, which sought to entice travelers with idyllic landscapes and an invitation to escape. Ideal for lovers of mountains, lakes, and retro design, this reproduction brings a touch of serenity and charm to any space.
