L'Exposition nationale coloniale de Marseille 1922
A 1921 Paris publication by Charles Régismanset and René-Claude Martin documenting the Exposition nationale coloniale held in Marseille in 1922, likely aimed at a French general readership interested in colonial trade and exhibitions. The four pictures are sepia photographs and engraved views printed sideways on the page: a bird's-eye panorama of the exposition grounds, a crowded quayside with masted boats, a harbour scene, and an older mountainous town view of Marseille. A designer might take the layered panorama and the dense waterfront crowds as references for sepia civic vistas and historical map-like layouts.
