Travel Poster Visit Ostend Yser Panorama Belgium Railways
Description
Original vintage travel advertising poster for Ostend, a coastal city and municipality, located in the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It was issued by the Belgian State Railways and features a painting by Belgian artist, academic and soldier Alfred Bastien (1873-1955). Bastien is well known for his grand Panorama of the Yser Front in 19th century tradition, a painting that measured 115 meters in length and 14 meters in height and was initially exhibited in Brussels. In the mid 1920s, a permanent building was constructed in Ostend, Belgium to house the Panorama along with a multitude of props and decor. The intention of moving the Panorama to Ostend was to capture a share of British war-tourism, since most British coming to visit relatives' war graves arrived by steamer in Ostend before proceeding to the area of the Ypres Salient. The Panorama opened at Ostend in 1926. The sketch in the poster, by the artist, features the burning and shell-blasted Cloth Hall in the First World War (1914), a medieval building in Ypres, Belgium. The building now houses the In Flanders Fields Museum. Condition: Good condition, folds and creases all restored, linen backed. Country of printing: Belgium, designer: Alfred Bastien, size (cm): 103x75, year of printing: 1920s.
