Alsace
ca. 1900 - 1914
Step right into the heart of France with this charming poster celebrating the region of Alsace by Etienne Moreau-Nélaton. A young woman stands proudly in traditional dress, complete with that iconic massive black bow headdress, gazing out over a sea of rooftops dominated by the towering Strasbourg Cathedral. She isn't alone, though; white storks—the beloved symbol of the region—soar through the sky and nest on chimneys, bringing a touch of local folklore to the scene. Framed by a delicate border of blue flowers, this piece captures a romanticized, peaceful vision of Alsatian identity from the early 20th century.
