A nostalgic jigsaw journey through a dreamlike collage landscape of European railways

Join celebrated collage artist Maria Rivans on a nostalgic jigsaw journey across Europe! Winding through the heart of the continent, you'll be delighted by a host of cosmopolitan sights and spectacular landscapes, with intriguing pre-war imagery conjuring up travel's most glamorous era.

The collage will include hundreds of images, featuring all the stops on the historic Orient Express routes: London, Calais, Paris, Strasbourg, Zurich, Lausanne, Simplon Tunnel, Milan, Venice, Trieste, Ljubljana, Zagreb, Innsbruck, Munich, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Sofia, Bucharest, Varna, Istanbul, Athens, Berlin, and more. Drawing heavily on the pre-war and fin de siècle, this is a mysterious, inviting view of Europe.
