This vibrant original vintage travel poster from circa 1960 promotes Switzerland and was issued by Aer Lingus.
Signed “Terry,” the design is executed as a silkscreen print, showcasing the bold colors and crisp, flat forms characteristic of the medium. The composition presents an idyllic alpine scene with snow-capped mountains, a serene lake, and a charming village with red-roofed houses nestled among lush greenery. Small details—sailboats on the water and figures relaxing along the shore—enhance the sense of leisure and holiday appeal.
The strong contrasts of blue, green, and white, combined with simplified graphic shapes, reflect the modernist style of mid-century airline advertising. The inclusion of an aircraft in the sky subtly reinforces the theme of accessible international travel.
Condition: Minimal foxing at the lower right, otherwise in very good condition with bright colors and excellent display quality.
A highly decorative and collectible silkscreen poster, appealing to collectors of mid-century design and classic airline advertising.
