This is an original Post-war illustration drawing, hand-painted with gouache on Arches Velum paper by French artist C. Villars (France - 20th Century). The poster project features an airplane propeller and the earth in the background, with emphasis on France and South American countries. The drawing was created for an airline company named STAR.

The drawing is adorned with a modern black wood frame with a silver accent and an off-white matte with glass protection.
