Lake Annecy, Paris-Lyon-Mediterranean

1900

Step aboard this pristine white steamboat and let the majestic, pink-hued peaks of the French Alps sweep you away! Created around 1900 by Frédéric Hugo d’Alési, this vibrant travel poster was designed to lure Parisians to the serene shores of Lake Annecy via the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée railway. Notice how the artist masterfully captures the golden hour, with the mountains glowing in warm purples and pinks that perfectly mirror in the calm, blue waters below. It’s a classic example of early 20th-century travel advertising, promising an escape into nature that still looks irresistible today.
