During the second half of the 19th century, the development of transportation enabled a strong increase in tourism in Europe. Timetables decorated with small black and white engravings were displayed in railway stations.
As early as 1890, the railway companies put up the first real travel posters, inviting travellers to visit historical sites and bucolic landscapes.
Hugo d’Alési was the most prolific creator of travel posters during the Belle Epoque. Working in a similar style, Henri Tanconville also designed a series of travel posters.
At the turn of the century, a different approach to travel posters emerged - from then on, a single image with shorter text became the norm.
From the 1920s. Poster artists abandoned the romanticism and arabesques of the Art Nouveau style in favour of geometric and monumental forms borrowed from Cubism and Futurism and embraced the Art Deco style.
