This charming vintage Citroën Anti-Stop poster was designed by the celebrated French illustrator Raymond Savignac, likely in the 1970s. Featuring Savignac’s trademark humour and minimalist line work, it shows a smiling driver in a Citroën car sheltered under the brand’s iconic double chevron logo, transformed into an umbrella. The slogan 'Mettez-vous à l’abri' ('Take cover') cleverly ties into the concept of Citroën’s Anti-Stop system, developed to improve reliability and protection for drivers.

The poster’s simple composition, playful wit, and use of bold typography reflect Savignac’s distinctive approach – making complex ideas instantly understandable through warmth and humour. It’s a quintessential example of French mid-century advertising design that marries technical innovation with visual charm.
