Voyage Autour du Monde / Round the World. 1891.
One of the most magnificent travel posters ever created, it advertises a “Round-the-World tour by ship and railroad.” The globe gives us part of the itinerary: from the right, the ship comes through the Red Sea and Mediterranean, by railway from Marseilles to Le Havre, then by ship to New York, where the railroad, shown at the bottom of the design, takes you to San Francisco either by way of Chicago or New Orleans, and then the ship again across the Pacific.
