A vintage travel advertisement poster, released by the French Government and the General Committee for Tourism, encouraging visits to Paris to see the Opera Garnier and its stunning ceiling fresco by the renowned artist Marc Chagall (1887-1985). The artwork, L'Opera Le Plafond de Chagall (detail), was unveiled in 1964. The vibrant poster features an embracing couple, with views of iconic Paris landmarks such as the Arc de Triomphe and the Obelisk of Concorde, surrounded by a horse head, birds, trees, and other buildings, all set against a green background.
