Roger Broders Biography

Roger Broders (1883–1953) was a French illustrator and graphic artist whose work became synonymous with the golden age of European travel advertising. Working primarily during the 1920s and 1930s, Broders created many of the most recognisable travel posters commissioned by the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée Railway (PLM) and other tourism organisations.

His distinctive style combined elegant Art Deco geometry, simplified forms, dramatic perspectives and rich, luminous colours to present destinations across France, the Alps and the Mediterranean in an irresistibly glamorous light. Rather than producing literal landscapes, Broders created highly stylised compositions that embodied the excitement, luxury and optimism of modern travel.

Today, original Roger Broders posters are highly sought after by collectors worldwide, while museum-quality Roger Broders prints allow admirers to enjoy these iconic Art Deco travel posters as sophisticated wall art for contemporary homes.
