Dieppe, posters issued by the Western Railways
Dieppe, posters issued by the Western Railways.
Shortly before 1900, new printing processes gave rise to large advertising poster format. This support, among others, allows railway companies to promote tourist sites served by rail. The illustrations were assigned to some famous painters and designers, such as Eugene-Victor Bourgeois (1855-1909) and F. Hugo d’Alesi (1849-1906). Dieppe appears here as a resort with an exceptional heritage site – the castle, along with a large, modern and lively area – the beach and the Moorish-style casino. The town is also a must for travellers to or from England. The short duration of the trip to Paris, the frequency of trains and discount rates are highlighted by a careful layout.
