About the Item
Original vintage poster ZERMATT MATTERHORN SWITZERLAND TWA c.1950. Along the way of TWA. Professional acid-free archival linen backed in fine condition. Ready to frame. Early Trans World Airline poster that features the Constellation aircraft. This is before the artwork of David Klein for TWA.
TWA (Trans World Airlines) was formed in 1924 as Transcontinental & Western Air. The airline's first route was New York to Los Angeles, soon followed by multiple National routes. The airline expanded to serve Europe, the Middle East, and Asia after WWII when the company was under Howard Hughes's owner's control from 1939 until 1961. Hughes was a dominant force in expanding and promoting the routes flown by his company. The economy was vastly improving and travels through the air for business and pleasure increased too. Posters were a key element in promoting this form of travel and TWA. The airline started a decline in the 1970s that ended up in a third bankruptcy that caused its acquisition by American Airlines in 2001. The airline operated in 132 destinations worldwide and had a fleet size of 190.
