About the Item

Lucien Boucher 🇫🇷 (1889 - 1971) was a French cartoonist, engraver, poster artist and illustrator. A graduate of the École de céramique de Sèvres, he began his career as a caricaturist for the humorous weekly magazine Le Rire and also contributed to several issues of Fantasio. From the 1920s onwards, he devoted himself mainly to the creation of posters for the cinema and advertising and produced numerous lithographs inspired by surrealism. He is known mainly for a series of advertising posters and planispheres made for Air France. On this poster, made to decorate the sales offices of Air France, it is the Vickers Viscount that is highlighted. The Vickers Viscount ✈️ was a British medium-haul turboprop aircraft launched in 1948 by Vickers-Armstrong, making it the pioneer of its kind. It was one of the most commercially successful airliners of the post-war era, with 445 produced. Particularly appreciated by passengers for its silence, speed and absence of vibrations, it also had large windows for a commercial aircraft. First turboprop line aircraft Perceval Paris
