This sun-drenched original 1930 poster by Georges Goursat, known as “Sem,” captures the effortless charm of the French Riviera in full bloom. Framed against the dazzling blue of the Mediterranean, the bold white lettering of “CANNES” rises from a lush spray of golden mimosa and ripe citrus, both iconic symbols of the Côte d’Azur. Just beyond, the hazy silhouette of the city hugs the shoreline, evoking the promise of balmy air and indulgent leisure.
Sem, famed for his Belle Époque caricatures and later Riviera travel designs, brought an unmistakable vibrance and humor to his work. Here, he trades sharp satire for joyful color, presenting Cannes as a sunlit Eden of natural beauty and escape. This poster was printed by the esteemed house of Draeger, one of France’s top lithographic ateliers of the time, known for their impeccable quality and work with luxury clients and tourism boards.
Issued during a golden era of French travel promotion, this piece is both a rare surviving artifact and a cheerful emblem of interwar Riviera glamour. A celebration of place, season, and sensation, it reflects the growing appeal of Cannes as a world-class destination long before the era of red carpets and film festivals. *Please note this poster is conservation backed on linen.
