Position Correcte (French Telephone Poster, c.1950s) – HD Aluminum

Equal parts instructional and iconic, this bold 1950s French public service poster titled “Position Correcte – Audition Parfaite” ("Correct Position – Perfect Hearing") was produced to teach proper telephone etiquette and device use. With a sharp photomontage of a woman’s face and a rotary phone receiver over a brilliant yellow background, the design is a masterclass in mid-century functional graphic design.

The red arrow, clean typography, and surreal layout reflect the influence of Bauhaus and Swiss modernism, repurposed for public instruction. Originally displayed in offices, phone booths, or government buildings, this poster now feels like high-concept minimalist art. Restored and printed on HD aluminum, it’s perfect for creative workspaces, phone booths, call centers, or lovers of retro design language.
