Titled "Visitez la Grèce en auto" (Visit Greece by car), this color lithograph was produced around 1930 by the Automobile and Touring Club of Greece, and its French text suggests it was meant for foreign visitors. Its subjects are automobiles, mountains, and monasteries, pairing the new motorcar with the landscape and sacred sites that tourism promoters hoped to sell. In the interwar years, national touring clubs across Europe commissioned posters like this one to encourage road travel and present their countries as modern, accessible destinations.
