1922 Aeronautical Exposition Les Ailes Georges Villa Aviation Poster
Georges Villa’s 1922 sepia vision of flight, with a winged aviator soaring over history’s dreamers of the sky. The conquest of wings, it declares, humanity’s greatest triumph.
Description
Reading La plus prodigieuse conquete de l'Humanite: les AILES, this poster by Georges Villa was made for a 1922 aeronautical exposition. An Icarus-like flyer spreads great wings above figures from myth and history while an early airplane passes overhead. A poetic piece for aviation enthusiasts and fans of early French poster art.
