Striking original vintage travel poster promoting tourism to Central Java, Indonesia, issued by the Ministry of Information. The design features a vivid, romanticized view of Borobudur or Prambanan temple complex, with a volcanic backdrop—likely Mount Merapi—emitting a plume of smoke. A pair of intricately sculpted Hindu deities dominate the foreground, emphasizing the rich cultural and religious heritage of the region.
Rendered in saturated hues of orange, purple, green, and gold, the composition blends mysticism and landscape drama to entice mid-century travelers to explore Indonesia's spiritual heartland.
