EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster advertises the 4th Abidjan Exposition, which took place in the vibrant capital city of Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, from 4 to 11 February 1951. At the time, Abidjan was part of the French colonial region of Afrique Occidentale Francaise (French West Africa). The exposition was an essential cultural and commercial event for the region, attracting visitors from across the French colonial empire and beyond. The poster's design is a striking representation of the rich history and diverse offerings of the exposition. A majestic ship sails into the bustling port of Abidjan, symbolizing the important role of maritime transport in connecting the region to the wider world. The ivory coastline and lush greenery in the background highlight the natural beauty and abundant resources of the region. The exposition offered various attractions, including agricultural and industrial exhibitions, cultural displays, and educational programs. The poster invites visitors to "discover the wonders of the Ivory Coast and French West Africa." This call to exploration reflects the spirit of curiosity and adventure that characterized the colonial era and continues to inspire travelers today. The poster's historical significance lies in its portrayal of Abidjan as a thriving hub of commerce and culture in the French colonial era.
