About the Item

This stunning 1965 original travel poster by Matchatschek captures the magical nighttime atmosphere of Place de la Concorde, one of Paris' most historic and grand squares. The composition is centered on the Fountain of the Seas, with its elaborate sculptures illuminated by dramatic lighting, creating a mesmerizing effect as water cascades elegantly into the basin. In the background, the majestic Luxor Obelisk, a 3,000-year-old monument from ancient Egypt, stands proudly, bathed in soft golden light. The glowing streetlamps, beams of light, and the subtle silhouettes of classical buildings frame the scene, evoking the romantic and timeless allure of Paris after dark. The word “Paris” is artistically rendered in a chalk-like script, reinforcing the poster’s vintage appeal. Below, the subtitle “La Place de la Concorde la Nuit” sets the tone, emphasizing the serene elegance of the square at night. This piece is a brilliant example of mid-century travel advertising, designed to captivate and inspire tourists to experience the enchanting beauty of Paris by night. A true collector’s item, it remains a testament to the city's everlasting charm. Tourism - Architecture - France Obelisk Printed by Draeger

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...
