Metz France Original c.1906 Travel Poster by Alfred Pellon – Art Nouveau Stone Lithograph, Linen Backed
This original Metz, France travel poster was created by Alfred Pellon (signed A. Pellon) around 1906 and beautifully captures the charm of the historic Lorraine city. Printed as a stone lithograph by Els. Druck (Fischbach), Strasbourg, the poster features a serene view of Metz’s skyline and Gothic cathedral silhouettes seen through a window as spring cherry blossoms bloom outside.
In the foreground, a woman in traditional dress gazes across the river toward the city, her patterned garments and soft colors reflecting the elegance of early 20th‑century Art Nouveau design. The composition frames Metz as a romantic destination, combining landscape, architecture, and seasonal beauty in a refined travel image.
This original French vintage travel poster measures 34.75″ x 36″ and has been professionally archival linen backed, with excellent condition and full borders. The conservation mounting preserves the lithograph while making it ready for framing and display.
Metz, located in northeastern France’s Lorraine region, is renowned for its extraordinary Gothic cathedral and historic architecture. Pellon’s poster highlights the city’s picturesque setting and captures the atmosphere of early tourism promotion in France. Reference sources generally date the poster between 1900 and 1906, though some suggest it may extend slightly later into the early 1910s.
