This is an authentic vintage airline poster promoting travel to Finland, issued by Finnair Aero in the mid-20th century. The poster features three vibrant photographic inlays set against a bold dark blue background. The images highlight Finland's natural beauty and diverse attractions: a serene waterfall scene, a charming countryside with traditional farmhouses and haystacks, and the bustling energy of city life.
At the top, a Finnair Convair CV-340-40 aircraft is depicted in flight, symbolizing modern air travel. A map of Finland appears in the lower-left corner, marked with major routes that extend to the Arctic Circle. The elegant French text, "Finlande par Finnair," indicates that this version was created specifically for the French-speaking market.
Finnair, originally established in 1923 as Aero O/Y, is Finland’s national airline and one of the world’s oldest carriers still in operation.
The poster is in very good condition, showing minor wear, including a small tear at the right margin. It would look stunning framed, making it an excellent addition to any collection of vintage travel memorabilia.
