Meeting d’Aviation Nice – 10-25 Avril 1910 – Charles Leonce Brosse

As one of the organisers of the 1910 Air Show held in Nice, the responsibility to create a striking poster was no doubt a great sense of pride, given that Charles-Léonce Brossé was a French painter, engraver and lithographer. He did not disappoint!

Brossé also known as Bsor or Bzor, gives us a stunning ariel view of an early pilot flying a Blierot style aeroplane. The pioneering pilot is scattering a bouquet of roses from the plane on to an incredible vista of Nice and the Gold Coast.

Original copies of this relatively scarce and popular Meeting d’Aviation, Nice poster do come on to the market fairly regularly and currently command a price of between $10,000 and $15,000 depending on condition. 

Our posters are carefully and professionally created from vintage originals. Whilst great care is taken in the production of these posters, we also try to maintain a vintage feel, so there may be small imperfections, fold marks, scuffs, tears or marks that were part of the original poster master. If these do appear they should be visible on the larger views of the item on this listing. The originals of many of the posters we offer can cost many thousands of pounds, so whilst these posters look great, especially framed and mounted on a wall, they are intended as a fun, affordable reproductions and not intended fine art prints.

The 50x70cm version has been specially produced to be used in conjunction with Ikea’s 50x70cm Ribba picture frame which currently retails for around £12. So you can bag a bargain of print and frame for a great price.
