One sheet, 1928 travel poster for the Chemins de fer de l'Est (Eastern Railway) features a romantic, shadowy view of the Place Stanislas
in Nancy, France.
Created by French artist Jacques Weismann (1878–1939), the artwork highlights the city's 18th-century architectural heritage. The specific scene depicts:
The Gates: The ornate wrought-iron gates in the background were designed by Jean Lamour and are a defining feature of the UNESCO-listed square.
Amphitrite Fountain: The central figure in the shadows is the Fountain of Amphitrite
, located at one of the square's corners.
Style: The poster is a notable example of Art Deco travel advertising, using high-contrast lighting to create a sense of mystery and invitation to the "Golden Age" of rail travel. |
