About the Item
This original 1938 poster by Albert Solon captures a unique moment of international collaboration in the golden age of aviation. Created to promote the Air France–Ala Littoria route between Paris and Rome, the poster reflects a short-lived partnership between the French and Italian national airlines during the interwar period.
Albert Solon, a multifaceted French artist active in both painting and graphic design, was renowned for his refined, illustrative style. In this work, he highlights the spirit of modern travel and the growing accessibility of air routes across Europe, at a time when airliners were beginning to rival trains and ships in speed and prestige.
The cooperation between Air France and Ala Littoria, Italy’s state airline, symbolized a shared commitment to developing international routes and promoting cultural exchange through commercial aviation. Though politically charged in the context of the late 1930s, this collaboration also reflected the practical aspirations of civil air travel in a rapidly changing world.
A rare and historic piece, this poster is not only a document of aviation history but also a striking example of the evolving language of travel advertising, where bold graphics and global ambition met on the page.
