    This colorful Mid-Century travel poster was created by Monique Cras for the French government in the 1950s to promote New Caledonia in the South West Pacific as a travel destination. A powerful looking Kanak man, one of area’s indigenous peoples, blows into a conch shell horn under the title
    L’ILE de LUMIÈRE
    which is one of the local names for Grand Terre, New Caledonia’s principal island. The right margin is printed “
    Published By And For The French Government Printed In France By R. Sicard – Paris
    ” and the artist’s signed name is printed in the right side of the image.
