1920s Art Deco Fashion Poster: French Travel Lithograph by Henrypierre

A striking original French Art Deco poster from the 1920s, designed by A. Henrypierre. This lithograph shows an elegant woman dressed for travel, carrying a walking stick and canteen, set against a stylised coastal and mountain backdrop. The bold typography—“Pour la Montagne. Pour la Mer”—positions the design as both fashionable and aspirational, representing the lifestyle of interwar France.

This poster captures the spirit of the Art Deco period, where fashion and travel merged into a statement of modernity. Henrypierre’s work balances style and practicality: the long, streamlined travel coat, scarf, and elegant stance suggest cosmopolitan chic, while the walking stick and slogan highlight readiness for both seaside and alpine leisure.

Such imagery reflected the aspirations of the 1920s, when mobility expanded and leisure travel became more widely accessible. Today, this poster is sought after by collectors for its refined aesthetic, its rare subject matter (fashion advertising with a dual travel motif), and its vivid palette. Its presence on the wall evokes the optimism and glamour of the early 20th century.
