Description

A 19th-century French-language steamship advertisement poster for the 'Bateaux à Vapeur du Rhin – Société de Cologne,' featuring a central oval vignette of a paddle steamer on the Rhine River with decorative typographic borders in red, blue, and gold. The poster promotes a direct daily service from Strasbourg to London ('De Strasbourg à Londre[s]'), connecting via the Rhine railways ('Les Chemins de Fer aboutissant au Rhin'). Strasbourg is a historic Alsatian city in northeastern France on the Rhine, once a major hub for river-based commerce between continental Europe and Britain; this type of chromolithographic travel poster was common in mid-to-late 19th-century Europe.
