ROGER BRODERS MARSEILLE. 1922. 42x29 1/4 inches. Cornille & Serre, Paris. Condition B+: repaired tears at edges, some affecting image; wrinkles, creases and abrasions in image. Advertising a National Colonial Exhibition, Broders focuses on the port of Marseille, not the town, perhaps because the port of Marseille was a gateway to the French colonies in Africa. A variant of the poster bears the French text "The Great Industrial and Commercial Metropolis." And commerce and industry are quite visible here in the tangible form of dock workers and their machinery in the foreground and all of the different ships in the harbor. Foremost is an imposing liner sitting in the bay with a vista of the town in the background. Broders p. 80, Marseille cover and p. 54.
