About the Item

In this vibrant poster titled "Italy via Jet Clipper," Aaron Fine captures the allure of Italian culture through the depiction of a Carabinieri officer in ceremonial uniform, saluting against a backdrop featuring the Leaning Tower of Pisa and other architectural landmarks. The composition utilizes a warm color palette and stylized forms to evoke the charm and history of Italy.​ This poster was produced during a pivotal moment in aviation history. In 1958, Pan Am became the first commercial airline to offer transatlantic jet service, ushering in the Jet Age. With the introduction of Boeing 707 aircraft, the airline sought to revolutionize long-distance travel by offering faster, smoother, and more glamorous international flights. As Pan Am introduced its jet services, posters like this played a crucial role in promoting international travel. Fine's design not only advertises a destination but also encapsulates the allure of swift and stylish air travel, positioning the Caribbean as a must-visit locale for the modern traveler.​ Aaron Fine was an American illustrator and designer active during the 1950s and 1960s. In addition to his work on travel posters for Pan Am, Fine was also a children's book illustrator and a playwright. Notably, his play My Blackmailer featured stage sets designed by his friend Andy Warhol, marking one of the few theatrical set designs in Warhol's career.​ This poster is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. It is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.

Original Vintage David Klein TWA Rome Swiss Guard Poster C1960 Small Format
By David Klein
Located in Boca Raton, FL
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 the control of Howard Hughes, owner 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 air for business and pleasure increased too. Posters were a key element to promoting this form of travel and TWA. The airline started a decline in the 1970s that ended up in a third bankruptcy that caused their acquisition by American Airlines in 2001. The airline operated in 132 destinations worldwide and had a fleet size of 190. This Rome poster...
