Vintage Normandy poster – Summer... the State (1930s)
A summer invitation to the heart of the Norman countryside
This vintage Normandy poster with Art Deco graphics is an ode to the sweetness of life by the sea. Published by the State Railways in the 1930s, it features a bucolic landscape with vivid colors: a typical thatched cottage, Norman cows, cliffs bathed in light, and the call of the coastline in the background.
A graphic style typical of interwar tourism promotion
With its slogan "Summer... The State", the poster plays on a visual pun and invites holidaymakers to discover the charms of Normandy by train. This type of visual was widely displayed in train stations to promote seaside and rural tourism.
