Posters from old editions of the Book Fair

At the Brive Book Fair, there are the headliners, but we also take care of the posters!

The poster for the Brive Book Fair 2023

This poster, created by Mathieu Persan, represents a river of books. We see the Cardinal Bridge, evoking the oldest of thirteen arches, the Guierle Lighthouse, the blue of the sky, the green of our living environment and this river of pages which form the waves of the Corrèze. 

“I didn’t want to do something generic. I wanted this poster to have an anchor, for people to say that this poster is Brive. While researching the city, I saw this river and found it interesting to follow it. Filled with books, it makes you want to swim there, fish there, watch it parade. The image was both poetic and dynamic. » Mathieu Persan

Anthology of old posters from the Brive Book Fair

The history of this literary salon is also marked by its iconography with a choice over the past ten years not to illustrate it with famous figures. Small anthology of posters announcing or having announced the Brive Book Fair: in town, in the surrounding area, in train stations, across Corrèze and more widely in Dordogne, in the Lot and in Paris! Some posters are also posted in Limoges, Bordeaux and Toulouse.
