This charming authentic vintage poster promotes Air India, featuring the captivating text: "There is an Air About India."
Highlighting Air India's beloved mascot, Maharajah, also known as "The Rogue," the poster showcases his iconic features such as the padded belly, large mustache, and mischievous demeanor. Created in 1946 by Bobby Kooka, Maharajah has become a cherished corporate personality.
The poster beautifully portrays Maharajah in his palace, accompanied by female servants, exuding a sense of regal charm.
In very good condition, the poster has been mounted on linen and has undergone a restoration with a mended tear at the top. Some small scratches are present, but they do not detract from its overall appeal.
