About the Item

This 1972 original vintage poster by photographer Perceval captures the breathtaking beauty of Le Mont Saint-Michel, one of France’s most iconic landmarks. Nestled in Normandy, this medieval abbey, built between the 12th and 15th centuries, rises majestically from the tidal sands, creating a vision of mystery and grandeur. Taken from an aerial perspective, the photograph showcases the dramatic contrast between the island commune and the vast, shifting sands that surround it. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the soft, earthy tones, gives the image an almost surreal quality, emphasizing the timelessness of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The composition highlights the Abbaye du Mont Saint-Michel, its towering spire reaching towards the heavens, embodying the spiritual and architectural marvel of the site. The narrow medieval streets, encircling fortifications, and winding causeway leading to the island evoke the rich history and cultural significance of this legendary pilgrimage site. This poster is more than just a travel advertisement; it is a work of art, encapsulating the magic of Mont Saint-Michel. With its minimalist typography and striking imagery, it serves as a timeless invitation to explore one of France’s most enchanting destinations.

1982 vintage poster by Razzia for the Paris Posters exhibition
By Razzia (Gérard Courbouleix–Dénériaz)
Located in PARIS, FR
This striking 1982 vintage poster, designed by Razzia, was created to promote the Paris Posters exhibition at the Musée de l’Affiche et de la Publicité during the summer (Été 82). Featuring a bold and graphic collage-style composition, the artwork embodies the dynamic energy of 1980s design. Razzia, a renowned French graphic artist, is celebrated for his iconic Art Deco-inspired poster designs with a modern twist. In this piece, he juxtaposes a stylized black-and-white Eiffel Tower, a monochrome portrait of a woman, and an accordion transformed into the Arc de Triomphe, all set against a dramatic black background with vivid color accents. The use of cutout-style imagery and neon-inspired typography reflects the postmodern aesthetic of the early 1980s, capturing the bold creativity of the era. The vibrant contrast of yellow, red, and blue highlights adds to the poster’s visual impact, making it a standout example of contemporary French graphic design. A rare and collectible piece, this original Razzia poster...
