Date: 1970s

Format (poster):
Width: 700 mm

This image was printed from the original colour transparency, depicting six pairs of people enjoying gin at the top of a lighthouse. The elevated setting, combined with the relaxed intimacy of the figures, creates a striking and optimistic composition that perfectly captures the spirit of the era.

Originally conceived as an advertisement in the 1970s for Gordon’s Gin, the image was part of a kind of « Live Life. Love. » advertising campaign, celebrating freedom, pleasure and modern living.

This poster is offered unsigned and was produced as a unique test edition, limited to a single example, created solely to gauge public response. As such, it remains a rare and highly collectible piece, never released as a standard commercial edition.
