EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating poster, created by French artist Henry Goussin for the Aero Club de Basse-Normandie in 1962, showcases the exhilarating world of aviation during the 1960s. The poster's bold design, dominated by the rich red, pink, and white hues, immediately draws the viewer's attention to the central image of a sleek, white aeroplane soaring through a clear, blue sky. The plane's wings are spread wide, as if embracing the freedom of flight, while the pilot, dressed in a red flight suit and goggles, gazes intently ahead. The Aero Club de Basse-Normandie, based in Flers de l'Orne, was a prominent aviation organization in Normandy, France, dedicated to promoting and encouraging the sport of flying. This poster, with its dynamic composition and evocative use of color, was likely produced to promote the club and its activities to a wider audience. The poster's tagline, "Voler, c'est vivre" (To fly is to live), encapsulates the sense of adventure and excitement that comes with aviation and reinforces the idea that flying is a fundamental aspect of living. The poster's design is a testament to the enduring appeal of aviation and the thrill of flight, even as technology and the industry have evolved over the decades. This iconic piece of aviation history, a treasure from the 1960s, is a must-have for any collector of vintage posters, aviation memorabilia, or those with a passion for the history of flight.
