The Basque Coast is a 1953 English language travel advertisement by Bernard Villemot (1909-1989) for the French Railway. The French Railway is known as SNCF, Societe Nationale de Chemin de Fer. Throughout the years, they have commissioned prominent artists to depict well known destinations in France to encourage train travel by the French public and visitors.

The Basque Coast is located at the southern border of France shared by Spain. This poster depicts some of the leisure activities that can be enjoyed on the Basque Coast, such as golf, horseback riding, and relaxing at the beach. Villemot's art style with its loose sweeping brushstrokes evokes a relaxing feel to the viewer.

What People Are Saying...

  • 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.
