Vintage advertising poster - Metropole
Artist:
This vintage advertising poster for Messageries Maritimes illustrates the importance of the French maritime network connecting mainland France to its overseas territories. The illustration features a stylized seahorse, adorned with the colors of the French flag, a symbol of the link between continents. Its modernist design, combined with a palette of greens and yellows, evokes the rise of maritime transport within the framework of the French Union , which grouped together French colonies and protectorates after the Second World War.
Created by Paul Colin in 1949, this poster exemplifies the clean and symbolic graphic style of the famous poster artist, known for his dynamic compositions and his work on typography. It also reflects France's ambition to assert its maritime and commercial presence on a global scale.
A historical piece that captures the elegance and power of the great French shipping companies of the 20th century.
