Roger Soubie is a renowned French illustrator and poster artist, active mainly between the 1920s and 1950s. He distinguished himself with his travel and film posters, marking the golden age of advertising posters in France.
Published for the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranean (PLM) railway company, this iconic work features the Convent of the Grande Chartreuse, majestically set in the heart of the Dauphiné massif, in a mountain landscape bathed in light. In the background, the Grand Som mountain range stands in all its splendor, offering a spectacular panorama.
The scene is bathed in light, with plays of shadows and bright colors evoking a beautiful summer day. The road in the foreground invites the viewer to venture towards the monastery, a symbol of peace and spiritual isolation.
This poster uses a graphic style typical of the 1920s-1930s, with flat areas of bright and contrasting colors, a structured composition, and elegant uppercase typography. It combines aesthetic appeal with a promotional function, encouraging travelers to discover the Alpine landscapes by train.
Printed with vibrant colors and striking contrasts, this poster combines artistic heritage and a poetic evocation of travel, ideal for enthusiasts of mountains, heritage, or vintage design.
