Menton – PLM Travel Poster by d’Alesi
A richly detailed Riviera travel poster by Hugo d’Alesi, depicting Menton through a carefully composed foreground of local flora and traditional figure. The scene unfolds toward the coastline, where calm waters and distant cliffs create a sense of depth and tranquility. Executed as a stone lithograph, the image reflects d’Alesi’s meticulous approach to color layering and atmospheric detail. Commissioned by the P.L.M. railway, it exemplifies the golden age of rail travel promotion along the French Mediterranean.
