This striking image was first created for Air France just after the end of World War II in 1947 by the artist Baudoin. It depicts the overhead view the famous landmark of the Arc de Triomphe that sits majestically at the hub of many famous avenues of Paris. The artist, also reminds the viewer that Paris is the City of Lights by showing the night view from the sky atop the Arc de Triomphe. This particular version of the poster was issued in 1962 as it shows a jet flying in the lower right corner whereas the previous version in 1947 showed a propeller plane.

Posters have always been essential to Air France’s communications. It has one of the greatest collections in the world with over 1500 posters created by the most famous illustrators. Air France posters are usually striking, with few words, and depict destinations as dream-like and air travel as making dreams come true. Such is the case with this image.

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
