HISTORY
As a travel poster, "Espagne" not only serves as a promotional tool but also as a cultural ambassador. In the aftermath of World War II, such posters played a crucial role in rekindling the allure of travel and fostering a sense of wanderlust. Georget's creation encapsulates the optimism of the era, inviting travelers to rediscover the world and indulge in the richness of Spanish landscapes and traditions. less
