EGYPT / GIFT OF THE NILE. Circa 1950s.


38 3/4x27 inches, 98 1/2x68 1/2 cm. Institut Graphique Egyptien.
Condition A-: minor repaired tears and overpainting in margins.

Little is known of this artist who designed at least four separate travel posters promoting tourism in Egypt. Each of his images has a very atmospheric use of light, seen here illuminating a square-rigged boat on the Nile. Rare.
