Description
A beautifully preserved illustrated French travel poster from the late 19th century titled “Spa Ferme de Frahinfaz”—part of Les Affiches Etrangeres illustrees—capturing the romantic draw of spa culture with charming period artwork and clear visitor messaging. Its warm palette and vivid illustration make it a memorable decorative piece for collectors of antique print ephemera.
Dated 1897, this poster is presented on fine vellum paper stock (papier velin) and includes publishing details associated with the original print run. The composition highlights the spa experience while guiding viewers with practical, welcoming text.
You can read the inviting instruction “ON LOGE A PIED ET A CHEVAL. Visit on foot or horseback.”—a line that adds both historical texture and storyline to the piece. It’s the kind of poster that feels like it belongs in a library, hallway gallery, or curated European travel print collection.
The work is presented in a 20″ x 16″ acid-free archival museum mat, helping keep it protected for display. With proper framing, it’s well-suited for anyone who appreciates antique French advertising, travel ephemera, and finely printed 19th-century graphic design.
Includes a Free Certificate of Authenticity (COA) with your poster. IVPDA certified dealer.
