Uriage-les-Bains (Isère) by Frederic Hugo d’ Alési, 1895

Step into a time machine to 1895 France with this gorgeous travel poster for Uriage-les-Bains! Artist Frederic Hugo d’Alési creates a dreamy invitation to the Alps, blending a sunny valley view of a hilltop castle with a cozy winter inset of a steam train chugging toward the casino. It’s the ultimate Belle Époque vacation ad, promising wealthy city folks a cure for their woes in the fresh mountain air. Those giant, icy-blue letters spelling 'URIAGE' practically jump off the page, showing off the bold graphic style that made French posters world-famous.
