About the Item
TWA California Travel Poster (c. 1950s). Another beautiful image courtesy of TWA's favorite artist, David Klein, this poster takes the normal focus away from busy cityscapes to spotlight one of America's most majestic sights found nowhere else in the world: California's towering giant sequoias. Long a major attraction for Westbound travelers and nature enthusiasts the world over, Mariposa Grove's Wawona Tunnel Tree astounded visitors of Yosemite National Park for almost 90 years until it fell in the harsh winter of 1969. A Heritage first, this incredible illustration of a now-lost arboreal titan is arguably one of Klein's best works for the airline.

David Klein
David Klein was an immensely prolific travel posterist who worked primarily for TWA and produced dozens of posters for the now-defunct global carrier. He designed several different series for TWA, ranging from early work that was realistic to later work that was cartoon-like in style. David Klein was born in El Paso, Texas in February of 1918. He moved to California where he attended the Art Center School [later renamed the Art Center College of Design] in Los Angeles. During the 1930s, he was an active member of the California Watercolor Society. This group of artists often chose to paint watercolors depicting scenes of everyday life in the cities and suburbs of California. They painted directly with little or no preliminary pencil drawings and used paper as a ‘color’ in a new and creative way.
