Affiche Saint-Malo

This original poster by Lotza is a representation of the beach of the corsair city of Saint-Malo in Brittany, with its characteristic breakwaters which protect the beach from the ocean waves. Beyond its aesthetic aspect, this illustration recalls the rich and fascinating history of Saint-Malo. Founded in the 12th century, Saint-Malo was a prosperous city thanks to its port and flourishing maritime trade. However, over the centuries it became a notorious corsair town, with ships setting out to sea to attack enemy ships and plunder their riches. During World War II, Saint-Malo suffered considerable damage during the fighting to liberate the city. However, the city was rebuilt in a style faithful to its original architecture, and has become a popular tourist destination thanks to its rich historical and cultural heritage. Lotza's poster perfectly captures the unique spirit of Saint-Malo, with its peaceful beach and imposing breakwaters. This illustration is a unique work of art that will appeal to all lovers of history and coastal landscapes.
