This original vintage Air-India poster promotes travel to Rome with a charming illustration of the airline's iconic Maharaja character. Sporting a curled mustache and a striped turban, the Maharaja is depicted savoring a plate of spaghetti with a bottle of wine by his side while playfully playing a pungi. The scene captures a quintessential Italian dining experience, with the word "Rome" artistically spelled out in spaghetti noodles extending from his fork in a whimsical loop above his head as he leans back contentedly in his chair.
The poster's vibrant colors and playful design immediately capture attention, embodying Air-India's signature style of lighthearted and engaging artwork. Against a rich blue, striped background, the Maharaja's relaxed embrace of Italian culture and cuisine is highlighted, blending cultural humor and vivid artistry to inspire travel and tourism.
The poster is in excellent condition and has been mounted on linen.
