Original Poster Barcelona - Metropolis of the Mediterranean - Circa 1925

Published around 1925 by the Spanish "Patronato Nacional de Turismo", this vintage travel poster invites French-speaking travelers to discover Barcelona, the “Metropolis of the Mediterranean.” Printed in Madrid by the Voluntad workshops, it reflects the modernizing momentum of 1920s Spain, eager to showcase its wonders to the emerging wave of international tourism.

Dominated by a stylized aerial view of the city, the composition highlights the majestic presence of the Sagrada Família, its Gothic spires rising above an ochre-hued urban fabric. The artwork blends tradition and avant-garde sensibilities, with a sunlit palette and a visual language typical of Europe’s earliest grand tourism campaigns.

Original lithograph poster, mounted on linen, measuring 43.1 x 29.5 inches, in A+ condition. A decorative and emblematic piece, capturing the Mediterranean allure of Barcelona at the dawn of leisure travel.
