This stylish Art Deco illustration, "It's Not a Long Way," was created by renowned French illustrator Fabien Fabiano (1883–1962).

The illustration humorously imagines the future of luxury air travel between London and Paris, depicting glamorous passengers boarding an elegant aircraft after an evening at the opera. Accompanied by the caption "Entendu: Après l'Opéra, on soupe à Piccadilly" ("Heard: After the opera, we'll have supper in Piccadilly"), the artwork captures the optimism, sophistication, and cosmopolitan spirit of the Roaring Twenties.

Published in Fantasio, one of France's premier illustrated literary and arts magazines, this original period print is an exceptional example of French Art Deco illustration and early aviation-themed graphic art. See less
