Description:

This original vintage KLM Royal Dutch Airlines poster, designed by Dutch animator Joop Geesink, is a vibrant celebration of mid-century air travel. Created using Geesink’s distinctive stop-motion style, the poster is both playful and richly detailed, with each scene brought to life by miniature sets and expressive clay-like figures. It promotes KLM’s global reach with the tagline “Anywhere in the world fly comfortably by KLM,” emphasizing both the airline’s expansive destinations and the comfort of its service.

The poster is divided into four distinct scenes, each representing a different corner of the world. In the top left, a group of Dutch fishermen in traditional clothing stands by the harbor, surrounded by wooden boats and colorful, gabled houses. A seagull glides above, reinforcing the seaside atmosphere. To the right, the tranquil beauty of Japan is depicted in a lush garden filled with blooming cherry blossoms. A woman in a kimono walks past a torii gate, with Mount Fuji rising in the distance.

In the bottom left quadrant, the iconic white domes of the Taj Mahal are set against a sandy desert landscape. A traveler on camelback looks toward the monument, accompanied by a local guide carrying a KLM travel case—a humorous nod to the blend of tradition and modernity. The final scene, in the bottom right, showcases a lively gathering in a mountainous region, likely inspired by Latin America. Three men in ponchos and sombreros are gathered around a campfire, with one playing guitar under the shade of stylized trees.

Though the poster shows signs of age, with wear, creases, and crumbling around the edges, it remains a striking and nostalgic piece. It captures the excitement of international travel during the golden age of aviation and stands as a testament to Joop Geesink’s creative vision and KLM’s mid-century branding.
