This incredible French travel poster is the second printing of this classic 1934 Southern Star Cruises safari design. The modern imagery features an abstract of a giraffe, filled with the silhouettes of animals, sights from the tour, as well as a beautiful parasol-wing flying boat — possibly a Consolidated Aircraft Commodore.
