About the Item
Original poster
Airline Company - Map - Tourism

In 1937, Lucien Boucher, a renowned French illustrator, unveiled his masterpiece, the "Planisphère Air France Réseau Aérien Mondial." This extraordinary planisphere is not merely a navigational tool but a visual symphony that elegantly encapsulates the global reach and sophistication of Air France during a pivotal era in aviation.
Boucher's artistic genius is vividly displayed in this planisphere, where cartography meets aesthetics. The poster features a stylized world map with Air France's global network intricately woven across continents. Air routes are illustrated with graceful curves, forming a captivating dance of connectivity that mirrors the airline's expanding influence.
The planisphere is more than a practical guide; it's a celebration of the glamour and excitement associated with air travel in the 1930s. The elegant Art Deco style, characteristic of Boucher's work, permeates the design, making it a true piece of visual art. The meticulous attention to detail, from the curvature of flight paths to the placement of cities, reflects Boucher's commitment to both accuracy and aesthetic harmony.
At the heart of this artistic creation is the vision of Air France as a global pioneer, connecting people and cultures through the marvel of aviation. Boucher's planisphere not only served as a navigational aid for travelers but also as a symbol of the airline's commitment to excellence and style.
Superb Planisphere by Air France drawn by the essential Lucien Boucher and printed in lithography in 1937. We have in front of the journey of the French Company In those years, a journey that went from Europe to the Far East, Brazil and Argentina.
There were no flights connecting Europe to North America at that time, this course was the "kept hunting" of the liner Normandy.
