BRINDEAU (DATES UNKNOWN) CASABLANCA / MAROC. Circa 1930. 37 1/2x24 inches. Daynes, Paris. Condition B+: repaired tears in margins and image; trimmed at bottom. A view toward the Atlantic Ocean, of the buildings (including a Mosque), a square, and the activity of daily life in Morocco's Ancient Medina. The E.S.S.I. was an off-shoot of the Federation of Algerian Tourist Offices, local tourist bureaus "which aimed 'to improve conditions for visitors travelling to and staying in tourist resorts and spas and actively promote these destinations.' The work of the tourist offices was closely linked to the development of poster advertising. Independently, or in association with the P.L.M., the tourist offices were responsible for commissioning most of the North African posters which appeared between the wars." (Orientalist p. 70). Orientalist p. 75.
