Original Poster Hossegor - The Silver Coast, by E. Paul Champseix - 1937

Created in 1937 by E. Paul Champseix for the P.O. Midi railway company, this superb original poster celebrates Hossegor and the untamed splendor of the Côte d’Argent. With its vibrant palette and immersive composition, it captures the seaside ideal of the interwar years, when unspoiled nature offered an elegant escape for summer visitors in search of sea air and southern light.

From a pine-shaded promontory, the viewer’s eye embraces the marine lake and the hidden rooftops of villas, before drifting toward a distant mountain horizon. The pictorial style - akin to open-air painting - combines chromatic finesse with a modern compositional rhythm. The tall, slender trunks in the foreground structure the scene, guiding the gaze between sky and shimmering waters.

Printed in lithography by Lucien Serre in Paris, this poster measures 39.2 x 24.4 in, is linen-backed and preserved in A+ condition. A striking piece for lovers of Atlantic landscapes, railway graphic design, or the artistic heritage of southwestern France.
