DESIGNER UNKNOWN AIR FRANCE. 1937. 39x24 1/2 inches, 99x62 1/4 cm. Chanove, Courbevoie. Condition A: minor repaired tears at edges; slight time-staining in lower left margin; with a French Line sticker affixed to the image. A Dewoitine D-333 flies through a decorative sunburst, the rays of which extend to colorful images of exotic peoples from around the world that one could presumably encounter at the other end of an Air France flight. Three Dewoitine D-333s were ordered by Air France in 1934, and were christened Antares, Cassiopée and Altair. Judging from the call numbers, this plane is the Antares.
