This poster promotes the Rome Express, a luxury train that carried passengers between Paris and Rome, and its French title, "Par le train de luxe," makes the appeal of rail travel the main message. Posters like this were a central tool of European railway companies in the early twentieth century, when sleeping cars and dining cars made long-distance journeys a form of travel in themselves. Look at how the design pairs the promise of Rome with the comfort and speed of the train, a pitch typical of the period's advertising.
