Description:
This charming set of five prints captures iconic Parisian landmarks and everyday street life, rendered in a colorful, illustrative style popular with tourists in the 1950s–1970s. These works were often sold by Parisian street artists and ateliers as affordable mementos for visitors. The palette is bright and clean, emphasizing the romantic nostalgia of postwar Paris.

Artist Context:
While unsigned beyond plate marks, these works belong to a genre of commercial yet collectible “Paris School” souvenir art. Comparable works were produced by ateliers such as Editions d’Art Yvon and independent illustrators like Eugène Galien-Laloue’s followers. They serve both as decorative art and as cultural records of Paris’s enduring tourist appeal in the 20th century.
