One sheet, "Visit France: The Basque Coast"
is a vintage travel poster created to promote tourism to the French Basque region. The poster was designed by artist Jean Garcia in 1952 for the French National Railways (SNCF).
The artwork shows a scenic view of the coastline, with a beach, cliffs, and buildings framed as if seen from the window of a train or motor coach. This visual approach was used to link the modern convenience of rail travel with the discovery of France's regional heritage. The poster is a classic example of French railway advertising from the 1950s |
