T3911

One of the first post-war posters issued by Air France for the airline's route to Rome.

 

This poster includes famous tourist images of Rome, including the Collosium, Forum, St Peter's and the River Tiber, surrounding a large image of the famous bronze statue of St. Peter at the Basilica which is an important place of pilgrimage. The poster emphasises the importance of Rome for Catholic visitors and in the immediate post-war period this would have been a major selling point to encourage French tourists and pilgrims to make the journey to Rome.
