Original vintage Belgian travel poster Visitez Blankenberge / Visit Blankenberge, design by Armand van Reck (1901-1981) captures an elegant lady in a vibrant scarlet swimsuit and blue bathing cap diving from a wooden rowboat with boatmen, fellow swimmers dot the water against a background skyline displaying the resort's bustling beachfront, grand buildings, and sandy shores under large, billowing peach-colored clouds. The caption below the image reads - Sa Plage Son Casino Son Pier Ses Bains Modernes / Its Beach, Its Casino, Its Pier, Its Modern Baths. Printed by Litho L. Burghgraeve, Bruges. Good condition, restored tears, restored paper losses, restored folds, staining, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All antique and vintage posters listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Most of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves drawing a reverse image of each colour onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, I believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £35 for orders placed via our website.
