Description from the seller
Splendid and iconic vintage tourist poster "Monte Carlo", originally designed in 1969 by the famous American illustrator Steve Carpenter on commission from the Direction du Tourisme et des Congrès de la Principauté de Monaco.
The poster perfectly captures the glamour of the French Riviera at the end of the 1960s, blending in the flowing hair of the female figure the Belle Époque Casino, the historic cars of the Formula 1 Grand Prix, and a refined couple in evening wear.
PRINT DETAILS (Maximum Transparency for Collectors): Author: Steve Carpenter (brand stamped on the graphic).
Edition: Official authorized vintage reprint (offset printing).
Printer: Reca on the lower right margin with the original mark "Imprimerie Baud - 06700 St-Laurent-du-Var - Tél. (93) 31.61.81".
Estimated period: Late 1970s / 1980s (identifiable by the 5-digit postal code and the French area code).
This is not a modern cheap digital reproduction, but a vintage piece for collectors.
CONDITIONS OF THE OBJECT: The item is exactly as shown in the photo. The paper is in good condition with slight signs of aging on the edges, the colors are vivid and not faded by the sun. It is not linen-backed (not on linen on the back).
