This Paul Colin poster advertises the Fêtes de Paris, a series of festivities held from May 26 to July 7, 1935, and pairs the event with exceptional travel facilities, so it was meant to draw visitors to the city as much as to entertain residents. Colin was one of the leading French poster artists of the 1930s, known for bold color, stylized figures and the streamlined Art Deco look of the period. Published by the Alliance Graphique in Paris, the poster reflects how French designers used eye-catching graphics to sell travel, spectacle and the city itself in the years before the Second World War.
