Embark on a journey back to the opulent era of air travel with this splendid original SAS poster from the 1950s, celebrating the Royal Viking Line. SAS proudly proclaimed, 'In every detail, from the wines at dinner to the air-foam berths, behold the regal luxury of the skies.'
The poster, set against a rich dark green backdrop, features a king-like figure seated atop an airplane, where he is indulgently served grapes and drinks by an attendant, basking in the experience of royalty. This captivating illustration is the work of the talented Fritjof Pedersen, renowned for crafting numerous Swedish travel posters.
This particular poster is the French version, enticing travelers with the words, '... voyagez Royalement, Royal Viking - SAS LIGNES de PREMIÈRE CLASSE.'
Professionally mounted on linen, this poster exhibits signs of its age, including margin tears, small imperfections, and subtle scratches. Nevertheless, when framed and adorning your wall, it becomes a rare and enchanting Scandinavian Airlines System relic, evoking the golden age of aviation.
