Cheverny - Blue
(62cm x 100cm)
This original vintage poster by E. Paul Champseix (1890–1983) showcases the Château de Cheverny in the Loire Valley, a masterpiece of 17th-century French classical architecture. The composition is framed by vibrant autumn foliage, with Champseix skillfully capturing the harmony between the château’s symmetrical design and its natural surroundings. The bold use of warm reds, oranges, and yellows contrasts elegantly with the cool tones of the château’s stone facade, creating a scene that is both majestic and inviting.
Commissioned by the SNCF, this poster was part of a mid-20th-century campaign encouraging travel to France's historic landmarks. The art reflects the optimism and cultural pride of post-war France, a period when travel posters were both functional advertisements and stunning works of art. Champseix, known for his dynamic compositions and refined attention to detail, created a series of works for the SNCF, each celebrating the beauty of French heritage.

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.
