About the Item

This original 1960s Pan American World Airways poster, titled "Japan by Jet Clipper," was created by artist Aaron Fine. The artwork features a vibrant depiction of a traditional Japanese festival, with costumed participants flying colorful fish-shaped kites known as koinobori. These kites are traditionally flown during Children's Day in Japan, symbolizing strength and perseverance. The bold colors and dynamic composition exemplify the mid-century modern aesthetic, reflecting the optimism and cultural curiosity of the Jet Age. 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.
