Explore a curated collection of rare books, political ephemera, signed editions, and historical prints – objects that exist at the intersection of culture, memory, and authorship.
For July, the Collector’s Choice is represented by this original 1992 Greek National Tourism Organisation (EOT) poster depicting the waterfalls of Fonias on the island of Samothraki.
Produced as part of the EOT’s international tourism campaign, the poster reflects the high standards of Greek promotional design during the late twentieth century. Through its striking composition and vivid photography, a lesser-known yet spectacular aspect of the Greek landscape is presented, highlighting the natural beauty of Samothraki beyond the country’s more familiar coastal destinations.
Recently acquired as part of a group of large-format original EOT posters from 1992, this example has been selected for its evocative portrayal of one of Greece’s most enchanting natural landscapes. Today, original EOT posters are increasingly recognised as significant examples of modern Greek graphic design, valued both as tourism ephemera and as enduring records of Greece’s cultural and visual heritage.
It is hoped that this month’s selection will encourage visitors to rediscover not only the artistic merit of these remarkable posters, but also the enduring beauty of the places they were created to celebrate.
