Travel posters (Broché)

Olivier Frébourg invites us to take to the seas with his collection of art posters. A writer and traveller, the son of a seaman and passionate about the sea himself, he has rediscovered the painters of seascapes and the renowned masters of poster art who have elevated the publicity for cruises on ocean-going giants to the level of graphic art. With his sensitive and well-documented text, and illustrations of more than 70 famous posters from French Lines, P & O, White Star and many other companies still offering cruises today, he invites us on a wonderful slow crossing, following in the experiences of Paul Morand, Blaise Cendrars, Evelyn Waugh or Francis Scott Fitzgerald.
