Le Saleve

Original lithograph from 1932.

63" x 47"

The Téléphérique du Salève is a passenger cable car providing access to the top of the Salève in Haute-Savoie, France, overlooking the city of Geneva, Switzerland.

The cable car was inaugurated in 1932, replacing a now-disused rack railway. It was shut down in 2021 (delayed from 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic) for refurbishment, and is scheduled to re-open in 2023. The projected cost is 12 million euros. (Wikipedia)
