La Côte d'Azur - l'été" stands out for its summer theme: it promotes the French Riviera as a seaside destination, with its bathing suits and water skiing singled out in the record. Lithograph posters like this one were a common way for French resorts and travel promoters to attract visitors in the 1930s, when the Riviera was already known as a fashionable retreat. Water skiing was still a novel sport then, and posters of the period often showed it as a sign of modern leisure. The design is by M. Sainte and was printed in color, with the publisher recorded as Kapp; the exact printing details are not given in the record.
