This is a fabulous SAS poster from the 1950s, designed by Otto Nielsen, promoting travel to London. Nielsen, known for his extensive work with SAS from the late 1940s through the 1970s, created vibrant and memorable imagery for the airline.
The poster showcases a colorful scene of the River Thames with Westminster Palace in the background, featuring tugboats on the river. True to Nielsen's style, a discreet airplane is subtly placed in the sky, adding to the travel theme without overwhelming the composition.
This is one of the rarest and most sought-after SAS posters, highly popular among collectors. It would look stunning when framed.
The poster is in good condition, mounted on linen with some edge wear and dirt, preserving its charm and historical value.
