Destinations beyond French borders, like Spain and Algeria, are also mentioned, emphasizing the interconnectedness of railway lines at that time. The graphic layout is very refined, with lines and dots indicating main stations and a large railway signaling structure in beige and black shadow, adding an industrial and modern touch to this decorative piece.
