Monte Carlo is situated along the French Riviera and is known widely as a place of beauty, splendor, and relaxation. This poster by Jean-Gabriel Domergue invites you to see the "most beautiful women in the world" and features two alluring women in swimsuits in the center of the image. The women’s interlocking of hands and low necklines would have been considered racy in the 1930s. The poster is a great combination of both charm and seduction, a staple of Domergue’s artistic style.

Jean-Gabriel Domergue (1889 – 1962) created this poster circa 1937. The French painter often described as the "inventor of the pin up" was known for his long-necked and delicate rendering of women. Domergue lived and worked in Monte Carlo which is in the Cote d’Azur. He rubbed elbows with high society, organized formal balls, designed fashion accessories and was somewhat of a local celebrity. His poster style was befitting of the upper-class luxuries he advertised. In 1955, Domergue was named curator of the Jacquemart-Andre Museum in Paris and later named a fellow of the Academy of Fine Arts.

  • 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.
