Backed on cotton canvas and Canson acid-free paper
‘Lausanne now has its own beach, and a beach whose layout, location and, above all, visual appeal have nothing to envy Trouville, Deauville or other cheap resorts’, wrote the Feuille d'Avis de Lausanne on 24 June 1927.
That summer, Lausanne opened a mixed beach. It was a first! Until then, men and women had been segregated in ‘baths’ located in the city centre. An arc-shaped beach requiring three thousand cubic metres of sand was created. Imported from the United States, Switzerland's first water-toboggan (11 m high and 25 m long) allowed people to “surf” on the lake with a wooden board, as shown by J.E. Müller on this magnificent Art Deco poster created for the opening of this legendary beach.
Our work consists in safekeeping the artistic heritage of advertising that we consider as a sociological trace of the twentieth century civilization. Our restoration studio proposes unique know-how in the conservation of old paper, of museum mounting and restoration of vintage poster. If you have an original old poster, Galerie 1 2 3 Studio is at your service.
The posters we propose are veritable pieces of historic heritage, which have a collector’s value. We offer a service of authenticity and original vintage poster certification and propose detailed condition reports including an Official Certificate of authenticity.
