Boucher (Lucien, 1889-1971). Air France, Double-Hemisphere Celestial Map, printed by Perceval, Paris: circa 1950, colour lithographic map of the heavens and the zodiacal constellations, printed in gold, turquoise and blue, wind heads in each corner, small globe to lower centre showing Air France routes around the world and in the upper cusp is a circular image of a hippocampus set within a compass rose, large margins, 620 x 965 mm, laid on later linenQTY: (1)NOTE:The celestial companion piece to Boucher's 1950 double-hemisphere terrestrial map. These large-scale posters proved very popular and were issued in several editions throughout the early 1950s. This example is referenced as "10 - 1950."Louis Boucher designed and produced posters for Air France for nearly thirty years and this clever design manages to give the suggestion of a blend of fantasy and reality, and at the same time provides the viewer with a suggestion of the experience they will have if they choose to fly with Air France. It is designed to capture the imagination and at the same time provides a strong brand message. In an almost surrealistic manner, Boucher has managed to illustrate the constellations as obtainable and encourages us to see the aeroplane as not just the master of the sky, but of the whole universe, connecting the passenger not merely to earthly destinations, but to the stars themselves.
