Step into the vibrant world of South Africa with this authentic and rare SAS poster from the 1950s, designed by the talented artist Otto Nielsen. Nielsen contributed significantly to SAS during the late 1940s to 1970s period, and this particular poster promotes flights to South Africa, featuring a charming image of a young African woman at a market with baskets and pottery.
As with most of Nielsen's SAS poster designs, the poster also features his signature airplane, subtly integrated into the artwork.
This SAS poster is a rare Danish version, as most of the posters were distributed abroad with foreign text for the suited market. It is in excellent condition, with just some light edge wear on the lower left.
This vintage poster is a wonderful addition to any collection and serves as a beautiful statement piece for anyone who loves vintage travel posters or has a fondness for the diverse and fascinating cultures of South Africa. The poster's design and colors are striking and would look great framed or mounted on a wall.
