French Poster; Two Girls Make Bon
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the enchanting era of 1950s Europe. The image captures two young women, former secretaries at Hulton Press, immersing themselves in French culture during their apprenticeship at the Hotel Chambord in Ostend, Belgium. The square poster hoarding sign behind them showcases a vibrant advertisement that entices passersby to explore the wonders of France. With their backs turned towards us, we witness their genuine curiosity as they study every detail on the poster with great enthusiasm. Dressed impeccably and carrying bags and purses filled with anticipation, these trainees symbolize ambition and determination. Their relationship is evident through their shared experience as they embark on this journey together. Thurston Hopkins skillfully captures this moment frozen in time, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era where travel was an adventure filled with discovery. This archival collection piece not only depicts two individuals studying a French poster but also represents the spirit of exploration that defined post-war Europe. As we admire this photograph, we are transported to Ostend's bustling streets and can almost feel the excitement buzzing in the air. It serves as a reminder of how advertising played a significant role in shaping consumer culture during that period while simultaneously showcasing Thurston Hopkins' exceptional talent for capturing human connection within his frames
