These prints belonged to a whole concept around the Obscure Cities which was never completed. There were to be 4 signed reproductions carried out at the time (circa 1993) but it is believed that only 3 of the 4 were actually printed.

The 4 signed reproductions were to be:

1) 1993. Titre de passage 1. Bruxelles-Mylos. 42x60 cm. Offset. 300 ex. n/s. (Inédit pour la station Porte de Hal). Repris en CP.

2) 1994. Titre de passage 2. Du Botanique à Calvani. 42x60 cm. Offset. 500 ex. n/s. (Le rêve de Nadar a Michel Ardan).

3) 1994. Titre de passage 3. Des Arts et Métiers aux portes d’Armilia. 42x60 cm. Offset. 500 ex. n/s. (cf. couv. de l’album D3).

format of this print is actually 30 x 42 cm (not the 42x60 listed above!)

(***NOTE: the image on this Print, is the Paris Metro station Arts et Metiérs,
which was designed by F. Schuiten, in hommage to Jules Verne)

4) 1995. Titre de passage 4. Des Voyages Extraordinaires aux Cités Obscures. 42x60 cm. 300 ex. n/s. (cf. couv. de l’éd. de poche du livre 3).

From the sellers description:
This publisher's broadside announces the imminent serial publication of Verne's new story, "Michael Sanderf", which, when the paper began publication 6 August 1885, was under the work's true name, "Mathias Sandorf". The story concluded November 5, 1885. Other research reveals that the work was published serially by Le Temps, which may be the source for the Times' preliminary announcement of "Within the next two week, the Troy Times will receive for publication, serially, the advance sheets of an original story by that famous French writer of Romance, Jules Verne ." Whatever the source, 19th C. publisher's broadsides
