This poster “compels recognition as a masterly poster
through the impression it gives, a fairy-like
impression of arrested motion, of life frozen, which
only awaits one thing - that you, passing by, board
the immobile airplane” (Air France p. 108). This is
the English version. Villemot 121 (var), Air France p.
109 (var), 1000 Posters 463 (var).
