EDITORS COMMENTS
Step aboard a vintage flight to Paris with this stunning 1958 poster designed by Leonard Ripley for BEA (British European Airways). The image transports us back to the golden age of air travel, when jet setting to the City of Light was a glamorous and exciting adventure. The poster showcases the iconic landmarks of Paris, starting with the Arc de Triomphe, standing proudly at the top, its magnificent archway adorned with the French flag. Below, the Champs-Élysées stretches out, inviting us to stroll along its famous avenue lined with cafes, shops, and trees. The poster's vibrant colors and bold typography perfectly capture the allure of Paris in the late 1950s. The French capital, with its rich history and culture, has long been a popular destination for travelers, and this poster beautifully encapsulates the essence of a Parisian holiday. Leonard Ripley, a renowned graphic designer, created this poster as part of BEA's marketing campaign to promote flights from Manchester to Paris. The poster's design is a testament to the creativity and artistry of the 1950s, a time when travel posters were a popular form of advertising and a source of inspiration for many artists. This poster is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history of air travel and the allure of European travel in the mid-20th century.
