An original 1970 SNCF railway poster by French artist G. Benard, promoting France's overnight sleeping-car services. Featuring a stylised female figure rendered in bold colour and flowing forms, the design captures the comfort, romance and escapism of long-distance rail travel. A striking example of French transport advertising from the golden age of modern graphic design.
'En wagons-lits avec un billet de 2e classe' which translates roughly to 'In sleeping cars with a second-class ticket' or 'Travel in sleeping cars with a second-class ticket.'
