.When you see the elite enjoying themselves in exotic spots in Art Deco style on a travel poster, there is only one artist: Roger Broders. Commissioned by PLM Railways, he painted in the 1920s' defining the travel industry and a decade. His brilliant use of soft pastels adds richness to this original 24x38.5 poster. Note the chic handsome couple in Monte Carlo checking out the tennis courts below and the Mediterranean in the background. This poster fills the heart and spirit with wanderlust. Mounted on linen with restoration to the bottom border, condition overall is EX-MT.
