Original lithographed poster, canvas-backed. Condition B, traces of folds and restorations. During the time of the Knights Templar in the Middle Ages, hospitable inns flourished throughout Europe. These accommodated monk-soldiers according to the language they spoke, since not all of them spoke Latin. So this inn in Greece was for those who spoke the language of France. It still exists today and is an artists' residence. Gilbert Galland, a French Orientalist painter, was also a painter for the French Navy, decorating liners as well as the famous Le Train Bleu restaurant in the Gare de Lyon in Paris.
