This is a rare and authentic travel poster issued by E.A.R.A.N., likely in the 1950s.
The poster portrays a smiling man with a summer-style hat and pipe in his mouth, peering through binoculars at wildlife such as elephants and giraffes.
The text on the poster reads: "See more and travel in comfort - East African Railways and Harbours - Rail, Road and lake services throughout Kenya, Tanganyika and Uganda."
The East African Railways and Harbours Corporation operated railways and harbours in East Africa from 1948 to 1977.
Despite several flaws including crumbles, stains, discoloration, tears, and tiny holes, the poster has been professionally mounted on linen to preserve it for future generations. Its rarity makes it a valuable addition to any collection.
