Vintage travel poster for Timgad, the "Pompeii of North Africa." The poster illustration perfectly captures the wonders of this world heritage site, with the upper half of the poster bathed in a stormy red that highlights the sense of majesty of the site and the bottom half tinted an icy blue that emphasizes the expanse of the ruins.
