This is one of several posters by Fraipoint for the Northern Railroad
Company, announcing excursions to Pierrefonds, Compiegne and Coucy-le-Château.
The artist, in a pleasant painterly style, depicts the wondrous historic
sights of the area. The vibrant greens of the landscape set against
a brilliant blue sky, contrast well with the elegant old style type,
set in red and yellow. This Brussels born artist was a painter and
illustrator in Paris where he collaborated on Le Courrier Francais
and other revues. He also created numerous posters, largely for the
French rail. |
