This exceptional, scarce 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's beauty and cultural icons. Raymond Gid 57 (var), not in Air France.
