Description

This publicity image for The Durrells television campaign, photographed and art directed by Jean-Yves Lemoigne, depicts a period-dressed family posing along a stone pier beside the open water. A diverse array of animals—including an owl, a donkey, a pelican, a tortoise, and a dog—accompanies the group alongside vintage luggage and suitcases. The scene is illuminated by warm, natural coastal sunlight, casting soft shadows across the stone pavers and creating a golden glow over the distant hills. The figures are dressed in 1930s-inspired attire, featuring tweed jackets, long skirts, trousers with suspenders, and vintage hats. The composition balances the human subjects and various animals across the foreground against a picturesque seascape background.
