Frankreich : Nationale Gesellschaft der Französischen Eisenbahn - France, SNCF ; tourist guide in German, 1957 : Zur vorbereitung ihrer reise nach Frankreich
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 inner covers include information on how to "prepare for your trip to France", It has another wonderful G Barret illustration of a family, assisted by a smiling member of station staff, preparing to board a train hauled by one of SNCF's new 25kv AC electric locos.
