This vintage Messageries Maritimes poster highlights Madagascar and the Comoros through an artistic and symbolic illustration. The image depicts a stylized figure of Madagascar, dressed in white and wearing a crown, symbolizing the island's rich culture and history. The children beside her add a touch of warmth and community. The red outline of Madagascar's map stands out against a light blue background, creating a striking visual contrast. Messageries Maritimes was a French shipping company founded in the 19th century, specializing in maritime links with French colonies. They played a crucial role in transporting goods and passengers between France and its overseas territories. This poster, with its vibrant colors and retro design, is an elegant tribute to these exotic destinations, capturing the essence of maritime travel at the time.
