Vacation in Europe Irish International Airlines

This vibrant original vintage travel poster from the 1950s was designed by Dutch artist Piet Sluis for Aer Lingus.

Produced as a screenprint, the poster exemplifies the bold, graphic style of mid-century airline advertising. It promotes “Vacation in Europe” through a playful and highly stylized composition, featuring a figure assembled from iconic European elements, including a guitar and the Arc de Triomphe. The flat planes of vivid color and strong contrasts against the deep blue background highlight the clarity and immediacy characteristic of screen printing.

Piet Sluis, who moved to Ireland in the 1950s, became one of the leading designers for Aer Lingus, creating a series of striking posters that defined the airline’s visual identity during the golden age of travel.

Condition: Very good condition, mounted on linen, with strong colors and excellent overall presentation.

A rare and highly decorative screenprinted poster, appealing to collectors of mid-century design and classic airline advertising.
