"Poster advertising the French railway from Martigny to Orsières, 1913" is a vintage travel poster designed by Swiss artist Albert Muret. Created in the early 20th century, this artwork was part of a broader movement in which posters became a popular means of advertising, thanks to advancements in printing technology and the rise of commercial art. Muret's work is characterized by its vibrant colors and dynamic composition, which were intended to capture the attention of potential travelers and entice them to experience the scenic railway journey between Martigny, a small town in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, and Orsières, a municipality located closer to the Swiss-Italian border.

The poster is a significant example of early graphic design and reflects the Art Nouveau style that was prevalent at the time, featuring flowing lines and organic forms. It also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the development of the tourism industry in Switzerland and the use of visual arts in the promotion of travel destinations. The railway itself was an important mode of transportation, connecting remote alpine regions with larger cities and facilitating the growth of alpine tourism.

Albert Muret, an artist and architect, was known for his contributions to both fields. His design for the Martigny to Orsières railway poster is not only a testament to his artistic skill but also to the importance of the railway in the early 20th-century travel industry. The poster is now considered a collector's item and is of interest to those studying the history of graphic design, advertising, and the cultural heritage of Switzerland's transportation system.
