About The Poster: The colors and mood of this poster fabulously evoke the sensuality of the Middle East – in the early 1900s many shipping lines began to traverse between France and countries like Morocco, Egypt and Algeria.
In this well-preserved gem, we see a woman in profile, a shoreline, date palms and all manner of Mediterranean fauna. A travel poster for the city of Casablanca, this poster was recently linen-backed and is in overall excellent condition. Ready to frame. From a private collection.
Casablanca trivia: According to the Lonely Planet Travel Guide, Casablanca's "handsome Moorish buildings, which meld French-colonial design and traditional Moroccan style, are best admired in the downtown area. Visitors who spend time there, in the Quartier Habous and in the beachside suburb of Ain Diab, are sure to get into the local swing of things and realize that this old pirate lair is looking towards the future, embracing the European-flavored urban sophistication that has underpinned life here for the past century.
