"Poster advertising the P.L.M. Railway Paris-Lyon-Mediterranée to the Mediterranean coast, before 1899" is a vintage travel poster designed by French artist Henri-Garnier Tanconville. This piece of graphic art was created to promote the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée (P.L.M.) Railway, a major French railway company that operated from 1857 to 1938, before becoming part of the Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français (SNCF). The poster, which predates 1899, showcases the allure of the Mediterranean coast as a travel destination, encouraging tourism and the use of the P.L.M. Railway for transportation.

Henri-Garnier Tanconville, whose work is less widely known than that of his contemporaries, was an artist who contributed to the rich tradition of French poster art in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period often referred to as the "Belle Époque." During this era, poster art flourished as a means of advertising and mass communication, with artists like Jules Chéret, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Alphonse Mucha becoming prominent figures in the field.

The poster by Tanconville is characterized by its vibrant colors and dynamic composition, typical of the period's lithographic techniques. It likely features scenic elements or landmarks associated with the Mediterranean coast, as well as imagery of the P.L.M. trains, to evoke the excitement and convenience of rail travel. The artwork would have been displayed in public spaces, travel agencies, and railway stations, capturing the attention of potential travelers with its artistic appeal and the promise of adventure.

As a historical artifact, the poster not only represents the commercial and artistic endeavors of its time but also serves as a visual document of the history of transportation and tourism in France. It reflects the societal changes of the late 19th century, where leisure travel became increasingly accessible to the middle class, and the role of railways in facilitating this cultural shift.

The poster is an example of the important role that visual arts played in the development of advertising and the promotion of travel. It remains a subject of interest for collectors, historians, and enthusiasts of graphic design, providing insight into the evolution of advertising aesthetics and the cultural landscape of the time.
