About the Item

The 1961 original poster by Bingler for Swissair, featuring the Convair Coronado 880, captures a key moment in the history of aviation and the development of commercial air travel. This period marked the transition to faster, sleeker, and more comfortable jet airliners, with the Convair 880 being one of the notable entries into the market. The Convair 880, manufactured by the Convair division of General Dynamics, was designed to compete with the Boeing 707 and the Douglas DC-8 in the rapidly expanding jet travel market. Known for its speed, the Convair 880 was one of the fastest commercial jets of its time, able to cruise at speeds higher than its competitors. Although fewer were produced compared to other aircraft of the era, it was prized for its efficiency on shorter routes and its sleek, streamlined design. Swissair, Switzerland’s national airline, was known for its high standards of service and innovation in the aviation industry. The acquisition of the Convair 880 was part of Swissair's efforts to modernize its fleet and offer state-of-the-art air travel to its passengers. This poster would have been a part of Swissair’s marketing campaign, emphasizing the advanced technology and speed of the Convair 880, aligning with Swissair’s image of precision and luxury. Bingler’s work for Swissair during this era represents a broader trend in aviation advertising, where posters and promotional materials were used to convey the excitement and allure of air travel. These posters played a crucial role in shaping public perception of air travel as a modern, glamorous, and efficient way to connect the world. This 1961 Swissair poster not only promoted a specific aircraft but also encapsulated the spirit of the jet age, a time when air travel was rapidly transforming the way people moved across the globe. It stands as a testament to the technological advancements of the early 1960s and the optimism that surrounded the future of flight. Airline - Tourism - Mountain - Switzerland
