#retro beach
La Plage de Calvi. Corse. 1928. Roger Broders.
31 1/8 x 42 3/8 in./79 x 107.5 cm
A rapturously beautiful, supreme Deco celebration of Corsica, the Mediterranean, and the idylls of beach life from the travel-poster master. The colors are impossibly crisp, especially considering this Grande Dame of posterdom is now 90 years of age. This is actually an advertisement for the PLM railway; the line not only advertised destinations in southern Europe, but also points across the water accessible from those ports. This is the French-language version.
Available at auction February 25, 2018.
