ALBERT BRENET AEROMARITIME. 1937.
381/2x24 inches. Mont-Louis, Paris.
Condition A; wrinkles in image. Framed.
Advertising flights to the west coast of Africa, a gray plane is seen behind a native African whose arrow, poised in his taut bowstring, marks the same trajectory as the path of the plane. Brenet designed posters primarily for shipping companies, but also did a lot of illustration of airplanes and cars. He was the official artist for the French air force and navy. The aircraft is an American Sikorsky S-43 Amphibian. Negripub 68.
