Georges Redon
Original Antique French Poster, "Boulogne S.Mer ", Georges Redon, Lithograph

1905

About the Item

Antar, artist: Georges Redon. Size: 49 x 90. Year: 1905. Archival linen backed in very good condition; ready to frame. Original linen backed stone lithograph: GEORGES REDON (1869-1943) BOULOGNE S. MER. 1905. 41 3/4x29 1/2 inches, 55 1/4x75 cm. While on the surface this appears as an innocent enough image promoting travel to one of France's premier beach resorts, it is, in fact, also one of the most suggestive Belle Epoque posters. Despite the staid Victorian style of swimwear in red, the relationship between the woman and the waves is hard to ignore. Like all great posters, once it has the viewer's attention it also advertises many of the other pleasures and attractions available in Boulogne. Listing off a few of the wonderful things that you can do in Boulogne is magnificent theatre, casinos, golf, horse races, pigeon shooting and more! An extraordinarily evocative poster, brazenly, yet skillfully dodging its way past the censors.
