Corsica

Corsica - Before (Poster) One sheet original vintage travel advertising poster for Corsica, titled "Corsica: The Isle of Beauty," designed by the French landscape painter and illustrator Lucien Péri (b. 1880). Poster Details • Artist: Lucien Péri (signed "Lucien Péri" in the bottom left corner) • Date: Circa 1925–1932 • Commissioned By: The PLM railway company (Chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée), whose logo is visible in the upper-right corner. • Printer: McCorquodale & Co. Ltd., London (noted on the bottom right border). • Visual Style: It captures a classic Mediterranean coastal landscape framed by native pine trees, characteristic of the Corsican shoreline, rendered in an Impressionistic lithographic style. While many common prints of this specific design feature French text reading "La Corse," this particular variant was printed specifically for English-speaking travelers with the text "Corsica: The Isle of Beauty".
