Grand Meeting d’Aviation de Lyon – 24 Juin 1928 0000-2252

This striking Art Deco aviation poster promotes the Grand Aviation Meeting of Lyon held on June 24, 1928, at Bron Airfield—a significant event in early French aviation history. The dynamic diagonal composition emphasizes a powerful monoplane soaring across a vivid orange sky, its propeller in motion, dramatizing speed and flight. Below, the black silhouette of Fourvière Hill (with its basilica and metal tower, iconic symbols of Lyon) anchors the poster geographically. The use of bold sans-serif typography in alternating colors and sizes amplifies the sense of excitement and grandeur. Aviators like Costes, Le Brix, and Fronval—legendary names in early long-distance and stunt flying—add to the prestige. This poster is a brilliant example of how aviation was celebrated as a thrilling, modern spectacle during the interwar years.
