inches, 120x80 cm. Publicite Vox.
Condition A- / B+: minor creasing in margins in image; light staining and overpainting in lower left corner
and bottom margin.
At the confluence of the bay and a pool, beneath a decorative trellis, with the beaches and town in the
distance, a fashionable couple is flirting. A highly stylized, delightful Art Deco image, from the woman’s
hair to the suggestion of waves in the bay. Bouchaud is known to have designed one other poster, for Val
d’Esquieres, another waterside resort, but a poster that is far less Art Deco than this scene. Riviera 214.
