EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster advertises Sabena's historic flights connecting Belgium to the Congo and South Africa. The image captures the excitement and wonder of early air travel, as a native man in traditional headdress gazes up at the sky in awe, with a sleek Sabena plane soaring overhead. The poster's vibrant colors and dynamic composition effectively convey the sense of adventure and exploration that accompanied the expansion of international air travel in the mid-20th century. The poster's design also reflects the cultural exchange and interconnectedness that was emerging between different parts of the world during this time. Sabena, the Belgian national airline, played a significant role in linking Belgium to its colonies in Africa, facilitating the movement of people, goods, and ideas between these regions. The native man's headdress, adorned with intricate beads and feathers, adds a touch of authenticity and cultural richness to the image. The contrast between the traditional attire and the modern aeroplane highlights the intersection of old and new, and the ongoing process of globalization. This poster is a fascinating snapshot of history, showcasing the transformative power of air travel and the connections it forged between different parts of the world. It is a reminder of the past, and a testament to the enduring allure of travel and exploration.
