EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover design for the Regie Air Afrique timetable, issued for the Europe-Congo-Madagascar summer service in 1936, showcases the allure and excitement of air travel during the 1930s. The French Air Ministry's Regie Air Afrique, a pioneering airline that connected Europe with its African colonies, is represented by an elegant art deco plane soaring above the African landscape. Beneath the plane, a diverse array of exotic animals – an elephant, antelope, and springbok – roam the wild, untamed borderlands, symbolizing the contrast between the modern world of aviation and the primitive, untouched beauty of the African continent. The aeronautical jar at the bottom left corner adds a touch of technological sophistication to the design. The cover's design also reflects the tropical climate of the region, with lush greenery and a serene water body in the background. The use of warm colors and bold typography further enhances the visual appeal, making this cover a true collectible piece from the 1930s. This cover design not only represents the spirit of adventure and exploration during the era but also highlights the racial diversity of the passengers and crew that would have traveled on these flights. The Regie Air Afrique timetable cover is a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the French Air Ministry during the 1930s, as they connected Europe with the exotic, far-off lands of Africa and Madagascar through the marvel of flying technology.
