About the Item

This striking original 1985 poster by Bulté celebrates the technological marvel of the Air France Concorde, capturing the supersonic aircraft soaring above the clouds against a deep blue sky. Designed to evoke power, speed, and elegance, the poster features a photographic composition emphasising Concorde's sleek, futuristic silhouette, with its distinctive needle nose and delta wings cutting through the stratosphere. The Air France livery, with its refined typography and French tricolour tailfin, highlights national pride in this engineering triumph. Concorde entered service in 1976, flying passengers between Paris, London, and New York at twice the speed of sound, reducing transatlantic flight time to just over three hours. It became an enduring icon of luxury air travel, technological ambition, and Franco-British cooperation. Bulté’s design exemplifies 1980s airline poster aesthetics: clean, photographic realism combined with aspirational imagery. The poster was issued by Air France as part of its promotion of Concorde flights to an elite clientele, reinforcing its position as the pinnacle of commercial aviation. Today, original Concorde posters remain highly sought after by collectors of aviation memorabilia, mid-century travel design, and 20th-century technological heritage. This piece captures not only the grandeur of the supersonic era but also a vanished vision of effortless speed, innovation, and luxury in the skies.
