Savignac - SIRPA-Gendarmerie - SDG Rosny - Raymond Savignac – Le Gendarme Sévit (1997) – Affiche originale de prévention – 40 × 32 cm - 1990s

Rare original poster of the French anti-drug prevention campaign by Raymond Savignac, one of the most famous French poster designers of the 20th century.

In his immediately recognizable style, Savignac depicts a gendarme seizing a person carrying a suitcase marked “DROGUE,” illustrating with humor and effectiveness the anti-narcotics message. The simple drawing, bold colors and the bright yellow background constitute the artist's iconic visual signature.

This work is part of the institutional posters produced in the 1990s for public awareness campaigns.
