Swissair Mediterranean

Description:

This original Swissair travel poster was designed in 1961 by Nikolaus Schwabe, a leading figure in Swissair’s modernist visual identity during the early 1960s. The composition features a stylized classical female torso rendered in Schwabe’s distinctive collage and sculptural paper technique, set against architectural columns that evoke the timeless heritage of the Mediterranean world. The warm, sculpted light and abstracted forms reflect Swissair’s sophisticated approach to destination marketing, blending modern design with classical references.

Issued by Swissair as part of its celebrated international travel campaign, this poster exemplifies the airline’s commitment to avant-garde graphic design and cultural refinement.

Dated 1961. The poster is in very good condition with light, even age wear. There is a 2-inch tear along the right lower middle margin, which would be largely unobtrusive once framed and does not detract from the strong overall presentation.
