Le Mont Revard — History & Facts
This 1927 color lithograph by Roger Broders advertises Le Mont Revard and the Grand Hôtel PLM, situated at an altitude of 1550 meters. The poster was printed by Maurice Dupuy in Paris and measures 108 by 79 centimeters. It was created as a tourism advertisement, promoting travel to this mountain destination. The composition presents a sweeping view of the alpine landscape, with the Grand Hôtel PLM prominently placed on a hillside among pine trees.
In the foreground, a winding road leads to a building with arched supports, where several automobiles and figures are depicted, suggesting the arrival of guests. The background features snow-capped mountains under a soft pink sky, rendered in flat, bold areas of color typical of Broders' graphic style. The palette uses greens, yellows, pinks, and blues to evoke the fresh atmosphere of the mountains. Tourism posters of this type were common in France during the 1920s, as railway companies commissioned artists to promote travel to scenic destinations.
Roger Broders was known for his work in this genre, producing striking images for the PLM (Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée) railway company. This poster was printed in July 1927 by Maurice Dupuy, Paris, as documented in the lower margin.
