About the Item
Rocamadour is a historic village built dramatically into the cliffs above the Alzou Canyon in the Lot region of southwestern France. This vibrant poster presents a sweeping view of the town’s distinctive vertical layout, where stone buildings rise in stepped formation up the face of the cliff. The image captures the sun-drenched village tucked into a lush landscape, with ochre-colored rooftops, layered architecture, and a mix of evergreen and autumnal foliage. A wide valley opens in the background, hinting at the rural expanse beyond.
This poster was issued by the Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans to promote Rocamadour as a destination accessible via train and automobile circuits. The town’s unique layout and cliffside construction make it one of the most visually striking sites in the Lot region.
Pierre Commarmond (1897–1983) was a French painter and poster artist known for his travel images throughout France. His work is often noted for its painterly approach, with soft color transitions and romanticized landscapes. While less geometric than other posterists of his era, Commarmond’s designs remain highly collectible for their atmospheric style and regional specificity.

Pierre Commarmond
Pierre Commarmond was born in Lyon, France in 1897. He began his art studies as a student of Karl Cartier, followed by courses at the Galland workshop. Later, he worked at and organized poster exhibitions for tourism and the Chemins de Fer (railroad). He was associated with and was known among many circles of artists from various schools throughout France, including l'Ecole Francais and l'Ecole de la Marine. During World War II, Commarmond worked as a costume and set designer for the theater. Following the war, he became the director of the well-known printing house Chaix, as well as a principal artist. As a result of his extensive travels and experiences in France and Europe, Commarmond created his travel posters in a simple yet grand manner with attention to detail. His style romances the landscape, luring the viewer to take a closer look, enticing the thought of a quiet get-away, an excursion to someplace warm and inviting. He died at the age of 86 in 1983.

Larry Hayden is a visual artist whose drawings and photographs reflect his fascination with his domestic environment and its feathered inhabitants. An ongoing series of photographs spanning nearly five years show him to be an animalier; his subject is his small flock of laying hens who share with him a picturesque 19th century Maine farm that once covered one hundred thirty acres, and whose Northern edge was the Presumpscot River. Now reduced to a bit less than one acre and surrounded by residential Portland, it is this little world that is the core subject of Larry’s work.
His photographs; paintings; and drawings are in respected collections including the Portland Museum of Art; Bates College Art Museum; the Colby Museum of Art; The Farnsworth Museum; the Fine Art Collection of William and Hobart Smith Colleges, and the University of New England Art Gallery, as well as distinguished corporate, institutional, and private collections.
Larry’s work has been included in many publications including Design Language, 2006, Tim McCreight, Brynmorgen Press; Abstract Art, Dean Nimmer...
