About the Artwork
The airplane of the road under a midnight blue sky
The Cottin et Desgouttes poster by Jean d’Ylen brings a winged figure down over the hood of a golden touring car. A small formation of aircraft crosses the dark blue sky. The car faces out at an angle, with the grille, round headlamps and fenders picked out in bright yellow.
Artwork and design
The wing tips reach nearly to the sides of the composition. Their pale sweep echoes the curves of the fenders, while the ghosted aircraft leave the sky open around the figure. A compact block of white brand lettering holds the bottom edge, with the slogan below in red.
About this design
The 1926 French advertisement calls the Cottin et Desgouttes car L’Avion de la Route, or the airplane of the road. D’Ylen turns that line into a scene that can be understood at a glance. The motor car anchors the image while the wings and aircraft supply the visual comparison.
Rooms and interiors
Display it in a study, home garage lounge or office with a collection of early motoring images. Navy, cream and brushed brass pick up the print’s colors. The frontal car and broad wings also make the design a strong standalone piece on a wall beside a desk or workbench.
