This poster was created in the early 1930s for the Victor Talking Machine Co. to promote the Victrola Portable phonograph. It shows two women in swimsuits relaxing on the beach beside a portable record player, with another figure walking toward the sea. The design uses warm, soft tones and gentle shading to create a calm, carefree summer mood. The artwork reflects the changing lifestyle of the early 20th century, when technology and entertainment became part of everyday life. The poster captures the joy of travel, music, and relaxation.
