Lot description

Lucien Boucher Air France / Reseau Aerien Mondial vintage poster 1937 24.25 h x 39.625 w in (62 x 101 cm) The creative department over at Air France used to call Lucien Boucher "Mr. Planisphere." He was their go-to artist for maps, and in this marvelously detailed piece we see the whole world rolled out - almost. (Sorry, North and Central America.) Using a line-drawing technique similar to city tourist maps of the period, illustrations mark the grandest attractions across the pre-WWII world. Little touches abound: Vesuvius blowing its stack; a snake charmer in Allahabad; a bagpiper in Britain. Perceval, Paris Provenance: Estate of Seymour Stein Literature: Air France/Fraile, p. 48; Airways, p. 74 This work will ship from Chicago, Illinois.
