Egypt

A striking and colorful vintage travel poster for Egypt, issued by the Egyptian State Tourist Department in the early 1950s. This bold design features a stylish woman in traditional attire, shielding her eyes from the desert sun beside a towering obelisk inscribed with hieroglyphs. Behind her, the red domes and minarets evoke the timeless skyline of Cairo, framed by palm trees and brilliant blue skies.

Printed in vivid colors by Institut Graphique, Egypt, the poster exemplifies the postwar era’s optimistic travel aesthetic — combining exotic imagery with modern graphic clarity to attract international visitors to Egypt’s ancient wonders and vibrant culture.

Condition: Mounted on linen with minor restorations. Excellent color preservation and strong visual impact.

A rare and iconic piece of Egyptian travel history, perfect for collectors of mid-century tourism design and vintage poster art.
