Background
The poster depicts the famous Maison de l’Orfèvre (House of the Goldsmith), one of the 16th-century half-timbered buildings for which Troyes is known. It is not dated but must have been issued before the end of 1937, when Chemins de Fer de l’Est ceased to exist. Printed by Lucien Serre, Paris.
