About the Item

This exquisite circa 1920 original exhibition poster, Le Cortège de la Côte d’Azur, is a remarkable work by Auguste Roubille (1872–1955), a celebrated French illustrator and poster artist. The artwork encapsulates the lively and glamorous spirit of the French Riviera, known for its luxurious lifestyle, grand festivities, and elite gatherings during the early 20th century. Rendered in vibrant Art Deco and Belle Époque aesthetics, the poster features a fantastical parade of elegantly dressed figures, elaborate carriages, and beautifully adorned horses, all set against a striking deep blue background. Each section represents different aspects of life on the Côte d’Azur, from fashion and high society to leisure and sport, including polo, golf, and aviation—hallmarks of aristocratic and cosmopolitan culture of the era. Roubille, renowned for his bold use of color and whimsical compositions, masterfully blends elegance and humor, depicting the Riviera as a dreamlike destination of endless celebration and indulgence. His signature touch of playfulness and theatricality is evident in the ornate floral arrangements, extravagant costumes, and dynamic movement of the procession. A true collector’s piece, this rare poster not only celebrates the allure of the Côte d’Azur but also serves as a historical reflection of the opulence and joie de vivre of 1920s France. It remains a stunning representation of the era’s fascination with leisure, travel, and high society, making it an exceptional addition to any vintage poster or Art Deco collection.
