Brigitte Bardot: A Collection of Rare Photos and Original Posters

A visual celebration of Brigitte Bardot and her extraordinary film career, compiled by Maurizio Baroni and Marco D’Ubaldo.

Published by Mediane Libri, the book brings together a collection of rare photographs, film stills, original posters and period advertising from throughout Bardot’s career. The imagery captures not only Bardot herself but the graphic language and visual culture that surrounded her films, from Italian movie posters and promotional artwork to candid photographs and behind-the-scenes imagery.

Bardot remains one of the defining cultural figures of postwar France and an enduring reference point for 1950s and ’60s style. This book is particularly good because it goes beyond the familiar portraits, documenting the typography, poster design, fashion and ephemera that helped create the mythology around her.

A great reference book for anyone interested in vintage photography, cinema, graphic design or mid-century European style.
