Rare small-format version of one of Jean Carlu’s most celebrated posters, designed for the Aquarium of the Musée Océanographique de Monaco. The composition exemplifies Carlu’s mastery of Art Déco graphic language: the ocean sunfish (mola mola) is reduced to bold interlocking geometric planes of colour, achieving maximum visual impact with minimal means. Printed by Robert Lang, Paris.
