Full color in shades of blue. Known by Air France as Mr. Planisphere, Lucien Boucher created airline world map posters designs between 1934 - 1962. This eight sheet world map is the largest map that Boucher made. There is another version colored in tones of red (see our 10163.000) instead of the blue used in this issue.
