Presenting an original vintage travel poster from the 1920s, crafted by Léon Carré to promote Hammam-Righa in Algeria, Africa.
This poster portrays a vivid scene in front of a mountain, showcasing the splendid gardens surrounding the Grand Thermal Hotel in the northern Algerian spa town of Hammam-Righa.
Renowned for its thermal water rich in mineral salts with healing properties, the Hammam Righa thermal spa has a history dating back to 44 BC and is situated at an altitude of 640 meters.
While the poster exhibits signs of wear such as small tears, rough margins, dirt spots, and missing paper in the margin, it has undergone conservation efforts and is now mounted on linen. Despite these imperfections, the colors remain vibrant, earning it a grade of B-. A nostalgic representation of the allure of Hammam-Righa in the 1920s.
