Yan
1959 original poster - French Basque Museum in Bayonne (Basses-Pyrénées)

1959

About the Item

This 1959 original travel poster, photographed by Yan, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the French Basque Country. Set inside the Musée Basque in Bayonne (Basses-Pyrénées), the image transports viewers to a traditional Basque home interior, where history, craftsmanship, and tradition are deeply rooted. The composition features a man dressed in classic Basque attire standing near an ornate fireplace adorned with antique tools and weapons, symbolizing the region’s past and its proud traditions. Opposite him, a young girl in traditional dress sits on a wooden chair, embodying the continuity of Basque heritage through generations. Above them, cured hams hang from the ceiling, a nod to the culinary traditions for which the region is famous. The rustic wooden furniture, red and white checkered curtains, and copper kitchenware further enhance the warm, authentic atmosphere. Published by the French Ministry of Public Works, Transport, and Tourism, this poster was part of a campaign promoting regional tourism and cultural heritage in France. The Musée Basque, founded in 1922, remains the largest ethnographic museum dedicated to the Basque culture, housing artifacts that celebrate the identity, customs, and traditions of this unique region. A rare and historically significant piece, this vintage photographic poster invites travelers to explore the deep-rooted traditions, craftsmanship, and way of life of the Basque people. A beautifully preserved testament to Basque identity, this poster celebrates the heart and soul of a culture that thrives on its deep historical roots.
