Broders created posters for tourist locations along that route, including mountain resorts around Chamonix and Mont Blanc, and holiday hotspots on France's Mediterranean coast. This poster, advertising Marseilles as a tourist destination, was included in the V&A Art Deco exhibition in 2003. \r\n\r\nThe image is of a busy harbour, with shiny black ships floating side by side in the blue water, their flags hoisted up high. The landscape in the distance is the colour of sun-burnt sand. In its simplified lines and bold colours this travel poster manages to evoke a mood and a sense of place. At the time of its production, posters like these had a powerful effect on people's imaginations; this was how imagery of far-away places found its way into advertising. This image glamourises not only travel, but also the modern machinery that made mass tourism possible.","physicalDescription":"A poster showing a harbour with ships with black, white and red, reflecting on the surface of blue water, with smaller boats surrounding them.
