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.

Rome, Venice, Pompeii, Milan and Florence – Carlo Cussetti, 1900
Original 1900 Italian travel poster designed by Carlo Cussetti and printed at the Ateliers Hugo D’Alesi in Paris. This poster was created for the French public to promote travel to Italy, presenting finely detailed vignettes of Rome, Venice, Pompeii, Milan, and Florence around a central panoramic view of Rome. Cussetti, active at the turn of the century, captured the cultural prestige of Italy at a moment when tourism was being encouraged through large-scale advertising lithographs.
This example is in excellent condition, professionally backed on linen. The colors remain rich and the imagery sharp, a testament to the quality of early 20th-century French lithographic printing. Posters of this type produced by Hugo D’Alesi’s atelier are valued for both their artistic merit and their role in shaping the visual culture of European travel.
