Additional Information
Created in 1954 by the Portuguese artist Nuno Costa, this poster sells fair-weather Portugal with a wink. A smiling sun, dressed in regional folk costume and holding an unfurled umbrella, presides over the scene while tourists from many lands caper along both margins.
The joke turns on Portugal's reputation for endless sunshine: while rain soaks the rest of Europe, the crowds pour south instead. Costa played the pun for laughs, lining up French, Dutch, and other visitors in their local outfits around the beaming figure.
Portugal was opening to mass tourism in the 1950s under an entrenched dictatorship that leaned on a gentle, folkloric image of the country. Posters like this one sold sardines, sunshine, and village feasts, smoothing over the politics of the Salazar years.
Today this poster stands as a testament to the whimsical side of mid-century travel art and offers a window into the carefree mood Portugal showed the world. Its cheerful sun and merry crowd make it a prized addition to a kitchen, sunroom, or hall.
