This charming mid-20th-century French poster promotes La Vie du Rail, a weekly magazine dedicated to railways and railway life. Illustrated by E. Foliette, it uses a bold, playful graphic style to deliver both a safety message and a call to read: 'Partout sauf dans les voies' ('Everywhere except on the tracks') and 'Lisez'('Read').

The bright colours, simplified character, and strong typography reflect classic post-war French poster design, blending humour, public awareness, and promotion into a highly memorable image.
