Condition B+ / A-: creases in margins and image; fold through bottom left corner; minor restoration in image. The British South American Airways Corporation was an offshoot of the British Overseas Aircraft Corporation (BOAC), formed to serve Latin America. It operated independently for three years, from 1946 until 1949 when it merged with BOAC. Born in Germany, Henrion went to Paris to study with Paul Colin and there discovered the works of Cassandre as well as the Surrealists, which gave him a taste for collage and photomontage. He moved to London in 1939 and quickly grew to be a prominent graphic designer.
