Batumi Georgia

This striking original 1936 Soviet travel poster promotes Batumi on the Black Sea coast and was designed by Maria Nesterova-Berzina, issued by the state tourism agency Intourist.

The composition features a woman in a vivid red dress carrying a basket of fruit, set against a lush subtropical landscape of palm trees, coastline, and the seaside city of Batumi. The deep blue sea, green foliage, and saturated colors create a powerful contrast, blending Socialist Realist aesthetics with romanticized resort imagery. Details such as the bus along the coastal road and ships in the harbor reinforce the theme of accessibility and modern tourism in the USSR.

Condition: Mounted on linen. The upper right margin has been professionally restored. The poster presents beautifully and looks stunning overall.
