Description from the seller
This color lithograph by Lucien Boucher for Air France, printed in Paris by the Imprimerie Perceval, shows two celestial hemispheres with the constellations and signs of the zodiac drawn as figures, around a golden globe crossed by the airline's routes. It is signed "Lucien Boucher" in the plate.
Boucher's planispheres, made for Air France from the 1930s into the 1950s as posters and promotional prints, joined old celestial cartography with the routes of the new air network and are among the best-known images of French airline publicity.
