Broders masterfully employs his signature use of depth of field, with the vegetation and people in the
foreground and the route from Nice to Geneva in the background. His depiction of the people touring
the Alps by motor coach is straightforward and illustrative, bearing none of the Art Deco stylization that
would appear in his work later in the decade. Broders p. 66, Perry / Broders p. 57, Hillion p. 252.
