Vintage Poster Marseille Alexandria Egypt Road

This vintage poster depicts the maritime and railway route connecting Marseille to Alexandria via the Egyptian road. The central illustration features a figure dressed in ancient Egyptian style, holding on the left a representation of a train and on the right that of a passenger ship, symbolizing the combination of transportation methods offered for this journey. In the background appears a simplified map of the Mediterranean highlighting the departure and arrival points: Marseille in France and Alexandria in Egypt. The design combines elegance and historical details with an art deco style, very characteristic of the 1920s. The border of the poster is decorated with stylized Egyptian columns and motifs reminiscent of ancient Egypt, reinforcing the theme of the route to this distant land. The text invites you to discover the "Messageries Maritimes," which provide a swift service by passenger ships, associated with the P.L.M. railways (Paris-Lyon-Marseille) offering luxury trains with beds, lounges, sleeping cars, and couchettes.
