Red Montenvers train facing the Mer de Glace poster

“MER DE GLACE” poster, Montenvers train facing the glacier

Bright red, the Montenvers cog railway train pulls into the station, facing the Mer de Glace glacier. Above the tongue of ice rises the peak of the Drus. This portrait poster picks up the spirit of illustrated travel posters, with a strong contrast between the red of the train and the white and blue of the glacier. The composition leads the eye from the train to the ice, then up to the summit, like the journey visitors make. The title “MER DE GLACE” accompanies this high mountain scene.

A Montenvers poster for a child’s bedroom or a chalet

Its whites, blues and bright red suit a living room, a child’s bedroom, an entryway or a chalet. It fits easily in a hallway or above a chest of drawers. It goes well with wood, wool, metal and touches of red. Mixed with other posters of Chamonix or mountain trains, it makes a cohesive wall. It will delight a train enthusiast, a mountain lover, a family who took the Montenvers train on vacation or a resident of the Chamonix valley.
