About this poster:
This vintage poster for Air France, created circa 1937 by Roger De Valerio, uses a striking Art Deco style to promote air travel. It features a stylized human figure, reminiscent of the Winged Victory sculpture, soaring through the clouds, with an airplane integrated into her form. She holds the Air France logo aloft, symbolizing mastery of the skies.
The poster's messaging, "Dans Tous Les Ciels" (In All Skies), emphasizes the airline's extensive network and reach. The bold colors and dynamic composition convey speed, progress, and the elegance of flight in the pre-war era. The artistic style is characteristic of the golden age of travel posters, blending art and advertising to inspire a sense of wonder and adventure.
Air France was formed in 1933 through the merger of several French airlines. Its purpose was to create a national flag carrier capable of competing on international routes, particularly connecting France with its colonial territories and other major global destinations. Posters like this were a key tool in establishing its brand identity and encouraging the public to embrace air travel.
