Artist: Rene Bleuer Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this French travel poster! Also note that this 1940s travel poster (with a tagline that translates to "The beautiful pages of your life") is encouraging people to use SNCF when visiting Juan-les-Pins in Antibes, France. This poster features Rene Bleuer art of a sexy smiling woman with an open book in the background showing the French Riviera. Note that we are unsure of the date of this poster but the SNCF logo closely resembles the first logo created in 1937. The logo was drastically changed in 1947 so the poster would certainly seem to fall between 1937 and 1947. What IS linenbacking?

It had paper loss in the bottom right corner that affected a 4" portion of the arm and all the text in the bottom right corner. There were some smudges and scuffs in parts of the woman's body above the paper loss and some tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The person who restored the poster did a quite nice job of replacing the missing area at bottom right, and the poster displays pretty well, but you can see some signs of the restoration.
