About the Item
Original American Airlines - California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico by McKnight Kauffer, 1948 vintage poster. Archival linen backed in Grade A, Excellent condition. No paper loss and no restoration.
Kauffer’s signature artistry is on full display with a bold and minimalist design.

The clean typography and bold color contrasts evoke modernism and nostalgia, making the piece a perfect centerpiece for collectors of aviation history, vintage travel memorabilia, or timeless graphic art.
Designed by E. McKnight Kauffer, a renowned artist known for his bold use of color and striking designs, this poster is a masterpiece that resonates with the charm of a bygone era.
