About the Item

This elegant original poster captures the magic and grandeur of the famous Grandes Eaux Nocturnes at the Château de Versailles—an enchanting nighttime spectacle where water, light, and music bring the palace gardens to life. Created around 1920 by French artist F. Prodhomme, the poster is both a celebration of classical French culture and a stunning example of early 20th-century travel advertising. Rendered in rich tones of violet, gold, and green, the composition presents a dramatic view of the illuminated fountains in full display, surrounded by mythical sculptures and lush formal gardens. Light beams reflect off the water jets, evoking a festive ambiance that recalls the grandeur of Louis XIV's court and the artistic innovations of the Belle Époque. Typography is cleverly integrated into the design, with “Versailles” emblazoned in bright lights at the top—evoking the glamour of a Parisian revue or cinema marquee. The lower part lists highlights of a visit to Versailles: Le Château, Les Jardins, Les Musées, Les Trianons, all culminating in the unforgettable Fêtes de Nuit and Grandes Eaux.
