Mont Saint-Michel – Normandie 1958 Poster
A striking aerial view of Mont Saint-Michel rising dramatically from its tidal surroundings, captured with exceptional clarity and precision. The composition emphasizes both isolation and approach, with the causeway and shifting sands leading the eye toward the fortified abbey. Created in 1958 for the Normandie tourism campaign, the image reflects a shift toward photographic realism in travel promotion. Delvert’s technical mastery—rooted in aerial imaging and color accuracy—gives the scene both documentary authority and visual impact, elevating it beyond traditional illustrated posters.
