Frankreich : Nationale Gesellschaft der Französischen Eisenbahn - France, SNCF ; tourist guide in German, 1957 ; back cover
A wonderfully produced guide to SNCF services, in German, and issued in 1957. It was produced for the French Railways by Editions Perceval and contains numerous colour and line illustrations by several artists and designers including G Barret, Brihat, Doisneau-Rapho, Fénino, Mazda, René Jacques, Schall and Yan-Rapho. They are wonderfully colourful and very contemporary in style, echoing much of SNCF's publicity and posters of this time. They cover tourist destinations by train and caoch services, SNCF's services and even a mention of French industry & freight services.
The back cover features another illustration by G Barret showing a coastal landscape with two trains passing.
