Morgat was well known for its beautiful coastline and abundant fishing, depicted in this scenic poster using vibrant color and perspective. The text ‘La peche a la sardines' translates to ‘sardine fishing.' This little village was the perfect destination for tourists to come relax and unwind, by way of a scenic train ride. Chemin de Fer de Paris a Orleans was an early French railway company founded in 1838. This welcoming French travel poster is advertising a rail service departing from the village of Quimper and stopping in Morgat. The cove of Morgat, France opens to the west on the sea Iroise between Pointe du Raz and Cap de la Chevre.

This poster was printed by Lucien Serre & Cie, a house that often worked with ALO.

What People Are Saying...

If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
