Note that Chemins de fer de l'Etat (literally translates to "State Railways") was an early state-owned French railway company. It was established by state order of the Third Republic in 1878 to take over ten small failing railway companies operating in the area between the rivers Loire and Garonne. In 1938, all French railway companies merged to form SNCF (Societe Nationale des Chemins de fer Francais - the French National Railway).

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was never folded. Soon after it was created, it was mounted onto a thin linen with no excess and two circular metal hangers were taped to the back of the top left and top right. Either before or after the poster was backed, it acquired many light creases around the edges and a few scattered in the poster. The poster could be displayed as it is, or certainly it could be removed from the old linen and properly backed. Learn More about condition grades
