This 1950 travel poster for the former SABENA airline showing a Canadian Mountie in the foreground costs €450 with dealer Jean-Pierre Decnop at the upcoming BiblioMania.
The fair runs for 10 days from Friday to Sunday, February 21-March 1, and travel is the theme at this staging.
Books on sale include Vol de Nuit (Night Flight) by the French writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1931), The Travels of Marco Polo by the 13th century Venetian merchant who journeyed to India and China in the service of the Emperor of Mongolia, and the cult read On the Road by Jack Kerouac (1957).
Adding to the travel theme, some dealers will be offering tapestries and kilims, Japanese porcelain, Chinese embroidery and tribal art.
BiblioMania will be held at Espace 10 Bd de la Bastille, near the Gare de Lyon.
