The 13 km-long Alpine tunnel through Mount Cenis, depicted here, was completed in 1871, linking France's department of La Savoie with Italy's province of Turin. To encourage travelers on what was now a much shorter trip, the French Railway PLM used this evocatively-colored image of Roman ruins to lure passengers to the Italian capital. Voyage p. 139, Viaggio in Italia p. 108.
