About the Item

This original 1964 travel poster by Matchatschek captures the magical essence of Paris in a dazzling display of fireworks over the Place de la Concorde. The scene is alive with excitement as a crowd gathers to witness the spectacular night sky illuminated by golden, blue, and red bursts of light. The towering Luxor Obelisk, a historic symbol of Parisian grandeur, stands proudly in the foreground, surrounded by glowing street lamps that enhance the romantic atmosphere of the city. Emblazoned with the phrase "C'est magnifique!" in elegant red script, the poster evokes a sense of wonder and admiration for the French capital. The bold “PARIS” lettering at the bottom anchors the composition, reinforcing the city's reputation as a place of beauty, celebration, and timeless allure. Created at the height of the golden age of travel posters, this artwork was part of a larger campaign promoting Paris as the ultimate destination for visitors from around the world. With its vivid photography and dynamic composition, this piece remains a highly sought-after collectible, encapsulating the grandeur and enchantment of the City of Light.
