Step back in time with this wonderful original vintage poster from 1929, issued by the Finnish airline Aero OY (predecessor to Finnair), which holds a significant place in aviation history.
Designed by the celebrated Finnish graphic artist Aarne Karjalainen, the poster likely depicts a Junkers G23 or G24 aircraft gracefully soaring over a sailboat along the Finnish coastline.
The Junkers G 24, a German three-engine, all-metal low-wing monoplane passenger aircraft, was an engineering marvel of its time, adding to the historical significance of the poster.
The Finnish text on the poster encourages travelers to make their summer journeys delightful by choosing Aero OY's services for routes between Helsinki-Tallinna and Helsinki-Tukholma.
Aarne Karjalainen's legacy as an artist extends beyond this poster, with his remarkable contributions to designing stamps and banknotes, creating an enduring impact on Finland's cultural heritage.
This authentic vintage poster is preserved in very good condition, with minor restorations, and has been mounted on linen to ensure its lasting appeal. A true rarity for collectors and aviation enthusiasts alike.
