South Manchuria Railway

Re-lined One sheet Travel poster, DEMOUNT, This is a vintage travel poster for the South Manchuria Railway Company. The poster was created to promote travel to Manchuria and other parts of East Asia, likely dating from the 1920s or 1930s. The company, also known as Mantetsu, was a large national policy company of the Empire of Japan that operated railways and other infrastructure in northeastern China. The poster depicts a tranquil landscape with a traditional-style building near a river with boats, set against a backdrop of mountains. A map of the railway's routes is visible at the bottom of the poster.
