This charming original vintage travel poster from the 1960s promotes Taiwan and was issued by the Taiwan Visitors Association.
Designed by Kao Lan, the poster features a lively and highly decorative collage-style composition depicting a traditional dragon dance. Rendered in bright, textured paper-cut forms, the scene shows children animating a colorful dragon figure, with a stylized temple structure in the background. The playful, handcrafted aesthetic draws inspiration from folk art traditions, while maintaining a distinctly modern graphic sensibility characteristic of mid-century design.
The bold “Taiwan – Republic of China” heading reflects the period’s official designation and positions the island as an exotic and culturally rich destination. The use of layered patterns, vibrant colors, and simplified figures gives the poster strong visual appeal and a sense of joyful movement.
Condition: Minimal tears and light creasing at the edges, with a small loss at the lower right edge; overall very good condition with bright colors and excellent display presence.
A rare and highly appealing example of mid-century Asian travel design, sought after by collectors for its charm, color, and cultural subject matter.
