One sheet vintage travel poster is a classic advertisement for
Air France, originally designed in 1949 by artist Vincent Guerra.
The artwork, titled "Paris is Two Thousand Years Old," was created to celebrate the city's 2000th anniversary. It features several symbolic elements:
A Fontaine de la Concorde: Specifically the Fontaine des Fleuves, shown in the foreground.
The Head of a Gaul: A large, stylized profile in the background, representing France's ancient roots.
Parisian Landmarks: A silhouette of the Eiffel Tower is visible on the right.
Air France Aircraft: A Lockheed Constellation—a staple of post-WWII long-haul travel—is shown flying overhead. |
