Rhodesia Lioness

This is a captivating original vintage Rhodesia travel poster from the 1960s, showcasing the allure of Africa’s untamed wildlife. The focal point of the image is a powerful close-up of a lioness mid-yawn, her sharp teeth and open jaws emphasizing the raw beauty and dominance of the region’s apex predators. The lioness is lying on a bed of dry leaves, with trees in the background contributing to the natural, wild setting.

The poster features the word "RHODESIA" in large, bold, yellow font at the top, standing out against the earthy tones of the image. Below the image, the accompanying text reads:

"A lioness yawns, elephant pad silently to water, antelope spring nervously across a plain — everyday sights in Rhodesia’s many game reserves."

The poster is in good overall condition, with minor wear that includes light edge scuffs, small creases, and some crumbles. These signs of age enhance its authenticity and vintage charm, making it a valuable collector’s item for those interested in African history, safari tourism, and wildlife conservation. This poster evokes a sense of adventure, transporting viewers back to the golden era of African wilderness exploration.
