Menton – d’Alesi Framed Riviera Poster
A classic Riviera composition by Hugo d’Alesi, presented here in a framed format that enhances its depth and color richness. The elevated viewpoint draws the eye across the coastline toward Menton, combining natural landscape with architectural detail in a balanced, painterly arrangement. Known for his meticulous printing methods—often requiring numerous color plates—d’Alesi achieved a level of tonal subtlety uncommon in travel posters of the period. The result is both decorative and historically significant, reflecting the refinement of early tourism imagery.
