This is an authentic vintage travel poster issued by British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) in 1954, designed by the celebrated British graphic duo Negus & Sharland. It forms part of their iconic six-poster campaign promoting BOAC flights to global destinations: the Caribbean, Middle East, Far East, Africa, Great Britain, and the USA.
This striking artwork captures the essence of Middle Eastern architecture, featuring stylized domes, minarets, and ornamental windows in a palette of vivid day-glo colors—a hallmark of the designers' revolutionary visual style. The bold neon pinks, oranges, and greens set against deep blues evoke both mystery and allure, aiming to entice postwar travelers with the exotic and the modern.
Condition:
Professionally mounted on linen for preservation. The poster is in very good condition, with minor expert repairs that do not detract from its impact.
A standout piece in the golden era of airline advertising—perfect for collectors of aviation memorabilia, mid-century modern design, or vintage travel ephemera.
This is an Authentic Original Vintage Poster from its time. It's not a new reproduction.
