Carnaval de Nice, 1902 – Vintage French Poster Reproduction

“Billets à Prix Réduits” — An Invitation to Indulgence and Riviera Splendour
Originally designed by Hugo d’Alesi, lovingly revived for modern sensibilities.

Picture, if you will, the Côte d’Azur at the turn of the 20th century. A world of parasols and petticoats, sea-spray and laughter, violets and violins. The air is drenched with salt, music, and the perfume of orange blossom, while the promenades of Nice glow with Mediterranean sunlight and the mirthful celebration of the Carnaval.

And at the heart of it all—this stunning 1902 vintage travel poster, created by the prodigious Hugo d’Alesi. It is not merely a travel advertisement. It is a living tableau of French joie de vivre, captured in pigments, preserved in history, and now, exquisitely reproduced on museum-grade material.

The foreground enchants us with a graceful troubadouress poised mid-song, her posture noble, her gaze turned to the grandeur of the sunlit festivities below. The Baie des Anges sparkles beyond her shoulder, and the floral embellishments burst like fireworks of spring. She is not merely in Nice—she is Nice: festive, elegant, romantic.

For Whom This Masterpiece Beckons

This is not for the hurried decorator. It is not for the casually curious. This is for the devotee of Belle Époque elegance, the lover of France in full bloom, the connoisseur of fine poster art.

You may be a collector, an aesthete, or perhaps someone who simply understands that a wall is not a boundary—it is a canvas awaiting inspiration.

Hang this in a drawing room swathed in tapestries and carved wood. Let it elevate a library filled with Proust and pearls of civilisation. Or place it within a salon where every guest finds themselves momentarily transported to a coastal fête of another, finer time.

Superior Quality, Tailored for Eternity

• Premium heavyweight 200 gsm paper

• Made in England with gentlemanly precision and care

A visual symphony rendered with the same meticulous attention that once defined the golden age of rail travel.

And Now, the Moment Beckons

We find ourselves in a curious place—a crossroads, if you will—between acquisition and longing. Shall this joyous piece of the Riviera remain but an idea? Or shall it become yours?

Bring the Riviera home. Command the spirit of 1902.
Order now, and let your walls remember what the world has nearly forgotten.

“Nice,” they say, “is always a good idea.” But this—this is a glorious one.
