A detailed lithograph showcases the naval power of Toulon, France’s primary military port. It features a modern pre-dreadnought battleship alongside a circular inset of an old frigate (ancienne frégate) to highlight naval evolution. The poster was created for Chemins de fer P.L.M. (Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée), a major French railway company and focuses on Toulon's status as a military naval base. The artist, Frédéric Hugo d'Alési (1849–1906), was a prolific Romanian-born French painter and lithographer. This poster was published in 1901.
