Route des Pyrene'es - Lacaze

The route through the Pyrenees Mountains of France was and remains today a most scenic road, wrapping tightly to the sides of the mountains. In this image, we see a touring vehicle transporting visitors along this winding route to view the natural beauty of the area. Created by Julien Lacaze in the mid 1920's, this poster invites the viewer to that region with a most welcoming vista. It particularly points out that the tour, which takes visitors from Biarritz on the Atlantic coast to Cerbere on the Mediterranean, takes seven days.

Julien Lacaze (1886-1971) was a prominent landscape poster that became a poster illustrator in the 1910s. He worked predominantly for the French Railway System, and his posters often feature the bucolic interiors of France that could be reached by train or car.
