Granville Poster — Bains de mer de la Manche, Georges Meunier

Granville harbour in a vintage travel poster

This reproduction shows Granville through a fishing scene. Fish lie on the foreground quay beside a figure leaning over a basket. Moored boats, dark hulls, ropes and masts lead the eye towards a tall red sail. Reflections stretch across the pale water on the right.

Beyond the boats, the town and harbour appear beneath a blue and pink sky. The diagonal quay gives the scene depth. Orange tones echo the sail, while green water provides a cooler contrast and draws attention to everyday maritime activity.

Georges Meunier and railway advertising

The illustration bears Georges Meunier’s signature and the inscription ‘Granville 1921’. Beneath it, the printer’s line reads ‘Imp. Chaix, Paris’ and ‘4-22’. These distinguish the date written within the picture from the printing indication. The French State Railways and seaside bathing captions frame the view.

Here, the seaside destination is promoted through its working harbour. Warm colours can accompany wood and pale fabrics in a living room or holiday home. This is a decorative reproduction; consult the available options and specifications before choosing.
