Discover a captivating piece of history with our vintage Air France world map, originally designed by Lucien Boucher in 1937. This stunning piece illustrates the airline's inaugural routes, extending from the Americas in the west to Vietnam in the east. Boucher, known as 'Mr. Planisphere' by Air France, dedicated nearly 30 years to creating iconic airline world map posters from the early 1930s until 1962.

We invest considerable time in reviving faded colors and repairing any damage, ensuring that every intricate detail is accurately represented. When you choose one of our pieces, you are acquiring more than just a print; you are obtaining a revitalized historical artifact, carefully restored to its authentic state.
Printed and assembled in our downtown Los Angeles studio, this map utilizes a 12-color Canon Pro 4100 large format printer, producing vivid imagery on Epson Exhibition Satin Canvas—a heavyweight 23 mil semi-gloss textured canvas enhanced with protective elastic polymers. The artwork is elegantly framed with decorative wood that has been stained and varnished. Two eye-hooks are mounted on the top for easy hanging, and a length of jute rope twine is provided to enhance the vintage charm of this roll-down canvas scroll.
