Air France - Corsica Small
(32cm x 50cm)
This original vintage poster, titled "Air France – Corse," was created by French artist Lucien Boucher in 1949. The artwork showcases a stylized map of Corsica, highlighting its mountainous terrain and coastal towns, all set against a deep blue background. Two Air France airplanes are depicted flying over the island, symbolizing the airline's connection to this Mediterranean destination.
Lucien Boucher (1889–1971) was renowned for his work with Air France, particularly his series of decorative map posters that combined artistic elegance with informative content. His designs often featured rich colors and intricate details, capturing the allure of travel during the mid-20th century.
This poster exemplifies the post-war era's emphasis on revitalizing tourism and international travel. Air France commissioned such artworks to promote their global destinations, with Boucher's creations playing a significant role in shaping the airline's visual identity.

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.
