Poster: Olympic Basin / Captive Ball

Reissue as a poster of an advertisement announcing the ascent of Henri Giffard's Grand Ballon Captif from the courtyard of the Tuileries in Paris, during the Paris Exhibition of 1878. This poster skillfully combines illustration and typography, creating a remarkable visual harmony. Designed by Yves & Barret. This poster is reminiscent of the work of Thomas Jolly, the Olympic cauldron which was raised every evening in the Tuileries Gardens during the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
