Cobbled alley and cathedral in old Strasbourg poster

Strasbourg poster, cobbled lane to the cathedral

A narrow cobbled lane winds between leaning half-timbered houses, adorned with flower boxes at every window. At the end of the street, the spire of Strasbourg Cathedral rises and draws the eye. The title “STRASBOURG” accompanies this poster of old Strasbourg. The composition in perspective guides the eye from the cobblestones to the bell tower, and the flowers add touches of color to the facades. A charming scene that captures the intimate atmosphere of Alsace’s historic quarters.

An old Strasbourg poster for an entryway or hallway

Its perspective in depth works very well in an entryway, a hallway, a living room or an office. In portrait format, it echoes the upward sweep of the lane and the spire. Its tones of wood, stone and flowers go with oak, terracotta, potted plants and light walls. You can pair it with other Strasbourg posters for a small series. It makes a lovely gift for an Alsatian, a former Strasbourg resident or a lover of flower-filled historic centers, with its blue sky and terracotta facades.
