Description
Tourism - Albert Robida (1846-1926) - Orléans railway. Saumur, Maine et Loire. 1910. Printer Baudelot, Paris. 102.5x74cm. Original poster, lithograph, canvas-backed. Condition A-, traces of marginal tears and traces of folds. Robida is well known as one of the precursors of the science fiction, anticipation and fantasy genres. Many of his inventions and graphic creations illustrate the technologies that would emerge a century later, such as television, videotelephony, the giant flat screen, the video projector, home cinema, the Internet-type individual communications network, tele-commerce, distance learning and the means of travel of the future, such as flying vehicles or taxis, or urban transport similar to the Regional Express Network and the forerunner of the very high-speed tube train. On our poster, an automobile appears amid horses and riders, two worlds that intersect while barges unload barrels of wine.
