Dunkirk poster, the Risban lighthouse at the harbor entrance

At the entrance to the port of Dunkirk, the Risban lighthouse raises its tall red tower at the end of a stone jetty. A red cargo ship passes offshore on the blue sea, and 2 walkers stroll along the sandy beach. This Dunkirk poster borrows the style of illustrated travel posters to celebrate the city’s port soul. The palette of red, bright blue, sand and cream captures the clear light of the northern coast. The vertical composition emphasizes the slender height of the lighthouse. The title “DUNKERQUE” appears above the seascape.

A northern lighthouse for an entryway or office

Its red, blue and sand tones suit an entryway, office, living room or bedroom. It pairs well with raw wood, metal, linen and nautical colors. In portrait orientation, it fits easily in a hallway or between 2 windows. Combined with other lighthouse posters or prints of the Opal Coast, it makes a breezy, seaside wall. A great gift for a Dunkirk native, a former sailor, a dockworker or a devoted fan of the Dunkirk carnival who keeps the city close to their heart.
