Lucien Boucher was a celebrated French graphic artist and illustrator, best known for his striking Air France travel posters. He began his career as a cartoonist for *Le Rire*, a renowned French humor magazine, before transitioning to advertising, where he explored elements of Surrealism and Art Deco. His distinctive mid-century style seamlessly blended these influences with traditional painting techniques, creating a fresh and timeless visual language.

Boucher’s *Planisphere* series, produced for Air France between 1934 and 1962, remains a benchmark in travel advertising. These imaginative maps chronicled the airline’s expanding routes, evolving over time with new artistic approaches. His work is widely regarded as a defining example of mid-century graphic design and remains highly prized by collectors.
