About the Item
Original Vintage "Rome Qantas" Vintage Travel Poster, Linen Backed, 1960s. Excellent condition. See images. Abstract style design of ancient Roman ruins.
An original mid-century travel poster issued by Qantas Airways to promote flights to Rome, beautifully linen-backed for preservation. This rare piece captures the glamour and sophistication of 1960s international travel through a bold, modern design.
A striking original travel poster from the 1960s promoting Qantas flights to Rome, beautifully linen-backed for preservation. This eye-catching piece features bold, modern graphic artwork typical of the Mid-Century Modern era, with an expressive, painterly rendering of the Arch of Constantine—one of Rome’s most iconic ancient monuments.
The top of the poster prominently features "ROME" in classic blue block letters alongside the bold red "QANTAS" logo and the unmistakable flying kangaroo roundel, immediately evoking a sense of luxurious mid-century air travel. The lower two-thirds of the design is dominated by an abstract, textural stencil of the Roman arch in deep shades of green and blue, adding an evocative, artistic touch to the classic travel poster style.
This poster is an excellent example of Mid-Century Modern graphic art, featuring bold colors, abstract textures, and simplified architectural lines. The image shows a modern, almost screen-printed version of the Arch of Constantine, painted in green, blue, and black strokes against a striking white background. The simplicity of the upper part of the poster emphasizes the Qantas branding while balancing the artwork below.
Ideal for collectors, interior designers, or anyone looking to add a touch of vintage cosmopolitan elegance. Linen backing guarantees durability and makes it ready for framing.
Each poster comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. We use durable, appropriate packaging to ensure it arrives safely.

Original Rome Fly TWA Jets vintage American travel poster
By David Klein
Located in Spokane, WA
Original Rome Fly TWA Jets vintage travel poster. Conservation linen backed in excellent condition, ready to frame. This is the earlier edition of the image Before ‘up up and away’!
TWA (Trans World Airlines) was formed in 1924 as Transcontinental & Western Air. The airline's first route was from New York to Los Angeles, 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 his company's routes. The economy was vastly improving, and travel by air for business and pleasure increased, too. Posters were a crucial element in promoting this form of travel and TWA. The airline started a decline in the 1970s, ending 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.
This Rome poster was created by the gifted American artist David Klein (1918 -2005), and depicts a member of the Pontifical Swiss Guard in the center wearing the iconic yellow, blue, and red uniform. The Guard is playing a drum that has the pontifical emblem. In the background, we see a representation of the ancient Roman Coliseum and the Baroque...

Located in Spokane, WA
Original Quale Capri? Original Italian vintage travel poster. Conservation archival linen backed in very good condition, ready to frame.
Quale Capri? Is which Capri? in Italian. The image is the outline of the island of Capri, off the coast of Naples, Italy. The poster has two different sides, which Capri do you like or want? One side represents progress with large commercial skyscrapers and the other side the small homes and businesses on the island. The question is do you want to allow development on this beautiful Mediterranean island.
Capri was first “discovered” by emperor Augustus in the early years of the Roman Empire. He often resided there and built many temples, villas and gardens as a way of having his own private paradise. The meaning of the name Capri can be traced to the ancient Greeks, where the ancient Greek word 'kapros' means 'wild boar'.
The island of Capri has had dozens of famous vintage posters...
