RAYMOND GID (1905-2000) AIR FRANCE / FLY TO PARIS. 1953. 39x24 1/2 inches, 99x62 cm. Bedos & Cie., Paris. Condition A-: minor abrasions at edges; minor restoration and restored pin-holes in corners. This exceptional and surprisingly rare image resulted from a commission requesting a poster "whose contagious cheerfulness attracts people to the capital" (Gid. p. 51). It harmoniously pairs a photographic image of one of the company's Lockheed Constellations with a fashionable, patriotically colored and stylized representation of Paris' beauty and cultural icons. Gid 57 (var), not in Air France.
