This original travel poster commissioned by Air France promoting the Paris - New-York route dates from 1951 and is an Alépée & Cie print designed by Vincent Guerra. The airline company introduces its Lockheed Constellation Aircraft flying over the terrace of a Parisian cafe, hinting at the ease with which Parisians could reach New-York. The Arc de Triomphe and the Statue of Liberty are just a breath away from each other. The artist included a few classic oldsmobiles, the elegant ‘50s-style cars parked alongside the Champs-Elysees to pitch both metropolises closer together. The Air France plane flys towards the stars, lined up as on the American flag. Vincent Guerra lures you into transatlantic reverie, and in the blink of an eye you’ve crossed the ocean and reached the city that never sleeps.
