Mr Hulot Poster, 1953

Original French Film Poster for “Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot”
Colour lithographic film poster for Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot (Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday), directed by and starring Jacques Tati.
An iconic and highly recognisable poster design for the celebrated 1953 French comedy film Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot, featuring the elongated silhouette of Monsieur Hulot against a vivid blue seaside background. The minimalist composition, with its bold typography and stylised graphic treatment, perfectly captures the understated humour and visual elegance associated with the films of Jacques Tati.
Widely regarded as one of the defining works of post-war European cinema, the film introduced audiences to Tati’s much-loved pipe-smoking character Monsieur Hulot and remains admired for its observational comedy and seaside atmosphere. The poster itself has become an enduring example of mid-century French graphic design.
Both cinematic and decorative in appeal, the piece would particularly suit interiors inspired by French coastal culture, modernist design or vintage film memorabilia. Presented in a later glazed frame.

Mr Hulot's Holiday...one of the best films! It's hysterical and is an absolute classic...
