{"product_id":"cannes-couple-on-balcony-14686","title":"Cannes - Couple on Balcony","description":"This original vintage travel poster promoting Cannes was created by French artist Alcide Théophile Robaudi circa 1910 for the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée Railway (P.L.M.). One of France's most important railway companies, the P.L.M. connected Paris with Lyon, Marseille and the fashionable resorts of the French Riviera, playing a major role in the development of tourism along the Côte d'Azur.Robaudi depicts Cannes from an elegant terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, with the harbor and town in the distance. The fashionable couple in the foreground reflects the affluent travelers Cannes was attracting during the Belle Époque.The poster's reference to service “Jour et Nuit” — “Day and Night” — emphasized that Cannes was readily accessible by P.L.M. rail service, reinforcing the poster's primary purpose: to encourage travelers to reach the Riviera by train. Railway posters such as this helped establish Cannes and the Côte d'Azur as major international vacation destinations.Alcide Théophile Robaudi (1847–1928) was a French painter and illustrator born in Nice. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Jean-Léon Gérôme and became known for his paintings and illustrations for books and periodicals. His skill as a figure and landscape artist made him particularly well suited to this type of early French travel advertising.This is an Original Vintage Poster, it is not a reproduction.
