Air France - Europe - Maurus

This is an early original stone lithograph poster created by the noted artist Maurus, for Air France. In In this image he shows vignettes of various destinations that Air France flies to around Europe. The colors are crisp and the image is charming. Air France, founded in 1933 always had a close relation with North Africa. Morocco was a French Colony from 1912 until 1956, and Air France moved operations from France to Casablanca, Morocco during WWII. By 1948, when this poster was created, Air France operated 130 aircraft and was one of the largest fleets in the world. Air France wanted to show through their posters that they were flying to many places, even if they were remote and lesser known by the general public.
