Bourgogne SNCF – Ocea – 1939

Bourgogne, or as we know it, Burgundy is one of France’s main wine-producing areas. It is well known for both its red and white wines, mostly made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. This vintage wine poster will appeal to anyone who likes a glass of the vino.

Designed byOcea in Paris and published by SNCF National French Railways (Societe Nationale des Chemins de Fer Francais) in 1939, to promote its train services to the Burgundy region of France. This fantastic wine poster features historic buildings and landmarks from the city of Dijon, including Dijon Cathedral, the Hospices de Beaune and the Philippe le Bon tower with houses over a bridge crossing the Loire river but the main focus of the image is a large glass of red. Off to pour myself one now!

Original copies of this posters currently sell for in excess of £1500.

Our posters are carefully and professionally created from vintage originals. Whilst great care is taken in the production of these posters, we also try to maintain a vintage feel, so there may be small imperfections, fold marks, scuffs, tears or marks that were part of the original poster master. If these do appear they should be visible on the larger views of the item on this listing. The originals of many of the posters we offer can cost many thousands of pounds, so whilst these posters look great, especially framed and mounted on a wall, they are intended as a fun, affordable reproductions and not intended fine art prints.

The 50x70cm version has been specially produced to be used in conjunction with Ikea’s 50x70cm Ribba picture frame which currently retails for around £12. So you can bag a bargain of print and poster for just £22.
