Original Vintage Poster IRELAND FLY TWA JETS Airline Travel David Klein 1960s

  

Description : In the Post World War ll era, Howard Hughes as the owner of TWA was a dominant force in expanding and promoting the routes flown by his company. As the economy was vastly improving, airline travel for business and pleasure was on the upswing and posters such as this were instrumental in promoting this form of travel. This 1962 Ireland poster was created by the gifted American artist David Klein (1918 -2005), and depicts various monuments of Medieval Ireland: churches, castles, a Celtic cross and several of the iconic Irish round towers that were used by the monks. Klein has intentionally chosen mainly green colors for this piece, since green is the color of Ireland. The poster is 25 x 40 inches, conservation mounted on linen.

Klein was best known for his influential work in advertising. Although he produced illustrations for Broadway theatrical productions, Hollywood films, the United States Army, and numerous corporate clients, Klein is best remembered for the iconic travel images he created for Howard Hughes and Trans World Airlines (TWA) during the 1950's and 1960's.

This poster was given to my family in the 1960's by a relative who worked for TWA Airlines, at the time. It has never been folded; it has always been stored flat. This poster is an original 1959 TWA vintage travel poster, and NOT a reproduction.

It has been linen backed, conservation mounted, and is in excellent condition. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Transportation\Aviation\Airlines\TWA".
