This is a stunning original SAS vintage poster designed in the 1950s by Otto Nielsen, renowned for his prolific work with SAS from the late 1940s through the 1970s. Nielsen's vibrant and memorable designs left a lasting legacy in airline advertising.
The poster features a colorful depiction of the River Thames, with Westminster Palace majestically set in the background and tugboats navigating the river. True to Nielsen's distinctive style, a subtle airplane graces the sky, perfectly complementing the travel theme without dominating the composition. This piece is a 1960s print of Nielsen's iconic 1950s design.
As one of the rarest and most coveted SAS posters, it holds significant appeal for collectors. When framed, it would make a truly striking display.
The poster is in very good condition, professionally mounted on linen to preserve its charm and historical significance, with only minor edge wear adding to its vintage character.
