About the Item

'Samivel' Paul Gayet-Tancrède (1907-1992) Chamonix Mont Blanc, France - au centre d'un monde de cristal Imprimé en France pour l'office du tourisme de Chamonix par l'imprimerie generale a Grenoble Original Vintage Ski Poster 99x62cm With the ever-popular topic of mountains for climbing and skiing, Samivel here draws one of the Aiguille or Aiguillettes - needles - in Chamonix which are famous for climbers. Samivel was a writer, an artist, a photographer, an explorer and more. In 1948 he accompanied Paul Émile Victor on the first French Greenland expedition, making three documentary films in the process. His friends included Théodore Monod and Gilbert André - the latter the mayor of Bonneval-sur-Arc and one of the founders of the Vanoise National Park - and with them and others he spent his whole life aiming for the protection of the imperilled countryside. The graphic artist side of him had a life-long fascination with high mountains, and his illustrated books and series of posters of the French Alps have long been popular.
