Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Rome travel poster

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Travel poster for train service from Paris to Rome, depicting the Temple of Saturn at the Roman Forum, 1920
Unedited version, for reference.
Reason
Early twentieth century color advertisements had gorgeous tones. I've fished this travel poster from the Library of Congress archives and tried to give it back the luster it had in 1920. The classical setting doesn't hurt for encyclopedic value.
