Title: Air France. Reseau Aerien Mondial
Description: Paris, Perceval, 1948. Lithographed poster (in the lower right margin: "208/P/6-48 Printed in France. Perceval Paris."); sheet 15 3/4 x 24 3/4, image 13 x 22 1/2; two small spots and a short, closed tear to right margin (not affecting illustration); several small creases to edges and corners; colors bright; overall in very good condition. Lucien Boucher (1889 - 1971) was a marvelous artist, mainly known for his series of travel posters for Air France, which he began creating around 1935 and continued well into the 1960s. This particular one was especially captivating, showing the airline's routes east to Japan and west to North and South America. It highlighted the current, at the time, expansion of Air France's network and illustrated landmarks, animals, people, and the continents' terrain in vivid colors. Very good .
