UTA Afrique

This striking original vintage travel poster was produced for UTA (Union de Transports Aériens), promoting exotic destinations across Africa. Featuring a powerful image of a traditional African sculpture against a deep red background, the design feels both bold and elegant — a celebration of African artistry and culture.

UTA was France's major private airline, operating long-haul international flights between 1963 and its merger into Air France in 1990. Posters like this one emphasized cultural richness and adventure, appealing to the growing postwar luxury travel market.

The poster is in good condition, with expected margin wear, pinholes, and some crumbling typical of authentic vintage posters. A rare piece of aviation and travel history, perfect for collectors interested in mid-century design, African art, or the golden age of air travel.
