Compagnie de Navigation Mixte – Algérie Tunisie (1949)

Artist: Langellon F.

A striking postwar travel poster issued by the Compagnie de Navigation Mixte to promote passenger service to North Africa. Designed by Langellon F. and dated 1949, the composition features a graphic array of maritime flags, including the red-and-white pennant of the Navigation Mixte, set against a sky-blue background. The caption—“Vous qui partez en Algérie et en Tunisie, passez sous le pavillon de la Navigation Mixte”—invites travelers bound for Algeria and Tunisia to sail under the company’s trusted flag.

Printed in France in the late 1940s, this poster reflects the optimism of postwar French maritime travel and the company’s deep historical ties to the Mediterranean. A classic of minimalist maritime design, this piece is sought after by collectors of French shipping and colonial-era travel posters.
