The poster depicts a pilot scattering roses from his airplane flying high over the Nice coast.

The lettering at the top is in a distinct Art Nouveau style and surrounds a crowned red eagle, representing the arms of Nice, with exaggerated wings extending far beyond the shield and resembling the wings of an airplane.

"[2] It has been reprinted numerous times and also has been reproduced on coffee mugs and other objects.

Brossé also designed bookplates, including one in 1912 for the alpinist Spitalieri.
