This charming Paris, France destination travel poster was created by prolific poster artist Jean Carlu for Pan American, the World’s Most Experienced Airline.  Carlu’s Mid-Century Modern design features a Parisian woman with flower basket set against a montage of images from the City of Lights including Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower and a sidewalk café.  One of the Boeing 377 Stratocruisers that formed the backbone of Pan Am’s 1950s fleet flies past above.

This vintage original poster is slightly bumped along the left edge just below the upper left hand corner and there is a short tear of less than an inch without loss on the right edge near the upper right hand corner. The poster otherwise shows just light handling wear while retaining strong color. Overall condition is very good.
