The Story Behind the Print
This striking French automotive poster celebrates the Cottin & Desgouttes "L'Avion de la Route" — literally "The Airplane of the Road." Created during the golden age of automobile advertising in early 20th century France, it captures the era's fascination with speed, technology, and the romance of the open road.
Cottin & Desgouttes was a luxury French automobile manufacturer known for their innovative engineering and racing pedigree. Their "Avion de la Route" model earned its dramatic nickname from its aerodynamic design and impressive performance capabilities. This poster embodies the period's bold graphic style, when automotive advertisements promised not just transportation, but transformation — turning every driver into a modern pioneer of the machine age.
The poster reflects France's position at the forefront of both automotive innovation and advertising artistry during the 1920s, when sleek design met ambitious marketing to sell the dream of speed and sophistication.
Reproduced on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using giclée printing with archival inks, ensuring your vintage wall art maintains its vibrant impact for generations.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.

“Great looking print. Paper was heavy & thick. The aging - spots, runs, etc added authenticity of it being an old chart. We Found a great frame and had it professionally mounted. Just the right size. Wanted to change the size And they were right on it - excellent product & seller. Thx”
“This is such a beautiful piece! I did not order the frame, I was lucky enough to find one similar the the barnwood frame in this listing and it still looks just as beautiful! Great quality , fast shipping, an all around great piece and great experience! Worth every penny!”
