Developed in 1911, the piece exhibits a vibrant visual enhancement of Mont-Dore, a renowned winter resort in the Massif Central, France, through charismatic uses of color and illustrative detail.
This particular poster was commissioned by the Chemins Fer d'Orleans, a prominent French railway company during the era, in a bid promote travel to the striking destination during winter. This reflects a widespread practice in the early 20th century where railways would employ artists to create appealing travel posters to boost tourism and their own passenger traffic.

The design showcases figures in winter attire partaking in popular wintertime activities such as sledding and skiing, all set against a backdrop of the majestic snow-capped mountains of Mont-Dore. The picturesque scene encapsulates the beauty and allure of Mont-Dore, encapsulating its draw as a winter destination.
The bottom of the poster features text advertising the railway service, written in elegant script to complement the artistic imagery above. The rich mix of colors, attention to detail, and the allure of a winter getaway within this piece situates it as an iconic work within the realm of French travel posters.
Robert Mahias, the artist of the piece, was a respected figure in the sphere of commercial art. His prolific career spanned illustrations for books, advertisements, and travel posters, with his works lauded for their aesthetic appeal and ability to entice viewers. His contribution to the visual art of advertising during his time remains a certain legacy, as his works are studied and appreciated for their distinctive fusion of art and commerce.
