ARTIST: MAURICE LAURO (1878-?) SIZE: 29 1/2 x 41 1/4 in./74.8 x 105 cm PRINTER: Imp. Devambez, Paris DESCRIPTION: In one of the finest travel posters ever created, Lauro perfects a vision of Trouville's boardwalk as the place to see and be seen in the 1920s. With the famed Casino in the background, every detail here is perfect: from the beauty mark on the foremost flapper's cheek, to the exaggerated hat-doffing of the gentleman, to the whiplash of two college lads, one éminence grise, and a German Shepherd—and don’t overlook the au courant stylings of the women's footwear. All things contribute to the chic, dynamic, head-turning ambiance of France's first resort town, a favorite of Monet, Flaubert, Proust, and Duras—now thoroughly fashioned as a place for the Great Gatsby to make an appearance. The artist, Lauro, is also known for his Le Rire caricatures and film posters. (Art Deco; Travel)

61 1/2x45 1/2 inches. Gossart, Paris. Condition B+: vertical and horizontal folds; staining in lower left corner; creases in margins and image. Lauro was a successful magazine illustrator who specialized in fashion. Among the few posters he designed are two of the most appealing tourist posters of the roaring twenties, Trouville (see Swann, Chassaing Collection, catalogue 1978, lot 64), and Cannes / Casino de la Mediterrannee. He also executed several commercial commissions that are equally charming, all featuring young, vibrant, trendy people. Here he is attempting a different approach, depicting a close-up of two glasses of beer held by unseen, smoking men. His concept is good in that the strict use of the diagonal is graphically efficient, the typography follows the curve of the café table, and the background represents the French national colors. Not in Litfass.

An engaging Art Deco rendition of a bustling, fashionable day on Trouville's boardwalk, filled with style, beauty, glamour, color, and patterns to the point that it "seems to encapsulate the essence of bright young thingery." (Hillier, p. 148) Executed in the manner of the fashionable Art Deco magazines of the era (such as Vogue ), this graceful, joyful and elegant celebration of the happy-go-lucky roaring twenties reflects Lauro's work as a magazine illustrator. The poster exists in different formats with varrying texts. In 1927, Lauro, who was a prolific illustrator, was commissioned to promote Trouville, the sister resort of Deauville (mostly advertised with posters designed by Don, with whom Trouville always competed). Hillier p. 148 (var).
