Sardine tin in oil and Breton cannery poster

Breton sardine cannery poster “SEA SILVER”

On a wooden crate in the foreground, an open tin of sardines in oil waits with a fork and a few slices of bread. Behind it, on the dock of a Breton cannery, workers in white caps and blue aprons arrange silvery sardines on long tables. Boats unload their blue nets, and the factory’s tall brick chimney rises in the background. This vertical poster tells the whole journey of the sardine, from boat to tin. The title “SEA SILVER” accompanies this working scene.

A sardine poster for the kitchen or as a gift

Its blues, silvers and brick tones suit a kitchen, a dining room, a delicatessen or a seaside home. Tall and narrow, it fits above a countertop or beside a table. It pairs well with raw wood, blue and white earthenware, rope and nautical stripes. Surrounded by other posters of Brittany or seafood, it makes a cohesive wall. A great gift for a Breton, a sardine tin collector, a fan of fine canned fish or a sailor.
