Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1896 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Illustrées. This reduced-format lithograph for Jules Chéret’s famous poster for Quinquina Dubonnet, the French apéritif wine infused with quinine.
First created in 1846 by Joseph Dubonnet, the fortified wine was promoted not only as a fashionable aperitif but also as a tonic with supposed health benefits. By the 1890s it had become a household name, thanks in part to striking posters like those of Chéret. His design for Dubonnet features an exuberant female figure in swirling dress and ribbons, raising a glass with infectious energy — the very embodiment of the Belle Époque’s joie de vivre.
Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was among the first collector series dedicated to poster art, issued in small editions. Produced at the Chaix atelier under Chéret’s supervision, each plate was a carefully executed stone-lithograph reduction of a major affiche, printed on fine paper. These works allowed collectors to own high-quality, authentic examples of poster art in a more practical format than the large affiches that covered Parisian walls.

AIR FRANCE – EUROPE
Artist: Edmond Maurus
Date: 1948
Original Air France poster created by Edmond Maurus in 1948 and printed by Goossens. The composition presents a series of small vignettes showing well-known European landmarks arranged around a stylized map of the continent, promoting Air France’s postwar network of destinations.
At the center of the design appears one of Air France’s early postwar aircraft featuring the distinctive triple tail configuration, a detail of interest to aviation collectors. This likely represents the Lockheed Constellation, which was in service with Air France during the late 1940s and symbolized the modern expansion of international air travel after World War II.
Edmond Maurus was active as an illustrator and poster artist in France from the 1930s through the 1950s, producing designs for Air France and other travel-related clients. His work is characterized by precise draftsmanship, strong composition, and clear cartographic layout typical of French travel advertising in that period.
This is an authentic original lithograph printed in 1948 by Goossens. The poster has been professionally mounted on linen and is in excellent condition.
