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.
