In the period after World War II, many countries were competing for attention in the growing tourist trade. Spain launched a campaign to highlight its many attractions and produced these images in Spanish, English, and other languages. This poster depicts a young Spanish woman classical dressed in a flowing skirt with underpinnings of lace carrying an elegant fan. It is symbolic of some of the beauty of Spain that is unique to the country and is suggestive of the flamenco dance.
The creator of this poster, Guy Georget (1911-1992) first entered the poster advertising world in the late 1940’s. His first artworks for travel posters exhibited a clear Picasso/Matisse influence. In 1960, Georget designed the logo for La Poste, the French national postal service. He was well known for his many designs for Air France as well as Philips Electronics.

If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
