| Additional Information: | Original poster: Orient Express, Venice Simplon dining car by Fix-Masseau. Fix-Masseau’s career as an artist began in the 1930s, and he maintained his signature deco style throughout its duration. This elegant poster advertises the VSOE train line with the spotlight on the availability of fine dining. The 1920s and 1930s were the heyday of the legendary train - elaborate meals, decadent company, and fine wines characterized this era of rail travel. Royalty, celebrities, courtesans, and spies intermingled as they traveled in opulence throughout Europe. The waiter is pouring wine in this re-launch of the Venice Simplon Orient Express railroad poster. You can feel the elegance of this fine dining car! This original poster is printed on fine thick paper and is not linen backed. It is ready to frame ‘as-is”. This original Orient Express poster is in excellent / mint condition. Artist's signature in the printing plate. Antique posters are 'pictures of persuasion,' as we might call them, and offer a wealth of art, history, design, and popular culture for us to understand. The poster is a familiar part of our world, and we intuitively understand its role as propaganda, promotion, announcement, or advertisement." |
