[Cecil Beaton]
The district of Monte-Carlo was founded in 1866. To mark its centenary in 1966, Cecil Beaton was commissioned to create a poster illustrating the theatrical celebrations. Three opulent figures in Edwardian and twentieth-century dress look down from a terrace on a crowd of revellers. The background is filled with the Monte-Carlo Casino and a sky of exploding fireworks. The whole is framed by dramatic curtains, statues and flowers.
