Veneux-les-Sablons – Environs de Fontainebleau – L. Prieur – 1930
Original 1930 French travel poster by L. Prieur promoting Veneux-les-Sablons, near Fontainebleau, as a delightful recreational escape from Paris.
Prieur presents an idyllic summer scene along the river, with swimmers and divers enjoying the water, rowers in small boats, and visitors relaxing beneath the trees. Across the river, a bridge and the village provide a picturesque backdrop. The brilliant greens, blues and yellows and simplified forms give the composition the fresh, modern character of French travel advertising of the interwar period
Veneux-les-Sablons lies at the southern edge of the Forest of Fontainebleau, near the confluence of the Seine and Loing. Easily accessible from Paris by train, the area attracted weekend visitors for swimming, boating, walking and excursions through the surrounding countryside and forest.
The poster is a wonderful evocation of the increasingly popular idea of escaping Paris for a day in the country, combining outdoor leisure with the bold color and elegant graphic design of the period.
Printed by Imprimerie Delaporte in Paris, this original lithograph has been professionally backed on linen and remains in excellent condition with beautifully preserved color.
