This travel poster promotes Monte-Carlo by pairing tennis players with the bay below, a combination that sold the principality as a place for both sport and seaside leisure. Resorts on the French and Monegasque Riviera drew wealthy winter visitors in the early 1900s, and posters like this were meant to lure them with sunshine, sea views and fashionable pastimes. Tennis was a popular social sport at these resorts, and Monte-Carlo later became known for its clay-court championship. The image is a useful reminder of how travel advertising framed a sporting setting as part of the lifestyle on offer.
