Description
This vintage map of the Île de Ré, published by Éditions Picard, is a magnificent vintage tourist map that captures all the seaside charm and retro appeal of this famous island in the Charente-Maritime region.
Titled Tourist Map (Fishing - Sports - Shows), this period map offers a colorful and lively view of the island, bordered by the Breton Sound to the north, the wild coast to the west, and the Sound of Antioch to the south. The central map highlights the island's unique silhouette, dotted with illustrations of sailboats, fish, and seashells that emphasize the island's way of life and the pleasures of the sea.
The document stands out for its rich informative and heraldic content, featuring a superb compass rose at the north, topped by the coat of arms of the Île de Ré, flanked by its traditional Poitou donkey. On the right side, a very comprehensive illustrated legend details leisure activities, camping, and local types of fishing.
The visual appeal of this work also lies in its five detailed inserts aligned on the left of the composition. These cartographic close-ups allow you to discover the precise street and square plans of the island's main towns: La Flotte, Saint-Martin, Le Bois-Plage, La Couarde, and Ars-en-Ré.
The color harmony, combining a bright ocean blue with ochre and orange shades for the land, gives this vintage map a warm and decidedly nostalgic aesthetic, ideal for celebrating holiday memories and the ocean.
This high-quality reproduction of a vintage map is a fine piece for enthusiasts of local history, lovers of the Île de Ré and the Atlantic coast, or to add an elegant, bright, and retro seaside touch to your interior decor.
Creative paper
For vintage paper posters, we use a natural-toned and textured, slightly grained, 200 gsm FSC®-certified fine art paper. We chose this paper for its durability and to preserve its vintage look: it is an uncoated paper, so the colors will have an "aged" appearance that stays true to the spirit of the original card.
If you would like to get an idea of how the printed result will look, which is always different from what you see on screen, please contact us and we will be happy to help! Rest assured that we will do our utmost to respond to your request as quickly as possible!
