ROLAND HUGON COTE D'AZUR. 1938.
39x24 1/4 inches. Paul-Martial, Paris.
Condition A. Paper.
The bright colors and nautical sights of a harbor along the French Riviera, and the pastel-colored buildings surrounding the bay as seen through an elaborate train window. Advertising the sleeper train from Paris to the coast, the image augments the message of the text, "This evening on the train . . . Tomorrow morning the Cote d'Azur," by showing a passenger the view from their window when they awake. One of at least three images the artist created for the area. Riviera 466 (var).
