Description
Salvador Dali (1904-1989) - Alsace. SNCF. 1970. Dreager printer. 99x62cm. Original poster, Draeger process, not canvas-backed. Condition A.
The visual shown here is part of the "Butterflies" suite of 6 works used to illustrate posters promoting French regions. Dali obviously added a surreal touch, but did not forget to serve his subject, tourism. Here he chose to highlight Strasbourg, and more specifically its cathedral and famous astronomical clock.
These posters are considered to be the last genuine artists' posters produced for the French railways.
