About the Item
This original vintage poster, titled "Hong Kong – Fly Northwest Orient Airlines," encapsulates the allure of Hong Kong as a premier travel destination during the mid-20th century. The artwork features a serene harbor scene with a traditional Chinese junk boat in the foreground, symbolizing the city's rich maritime heritage. In the background, the iconic skyline of Hong Kong Island rises against the majestic backdrop of Victoria Peak, capturing the dynamic blend of natural beauty and urban sophistication that defines the city.
Northwest Orient Airlines, established in 1926, played a pivotal role in connecting the United States with Asia, becoming a bridge between Western travelers and the enchanting cultures of the East. By the 1950s and 1960s, the airline had expanded its routes extensively across the Pacific, with Hong Kong serving as a key hub in its network. This poster reflects the airline's commitment to promoting Asian destinations to American and international travelers, emphasizing the exotic and inviting nature of locales like Hong Kong.
The artist employs a harmonious color palette and stylized illustration to evoke a sense of adventure and discovery. The depiction of the junk boat not only highlights traditional Chinese culture but also serves as an invitation to explore the unique experiences that Hong Kong offers. The careful composition and attention to detail in the poster are indicative of the era's advertising artistry, where visual appeal was paramount in capturing the imagination of potential travelers.

Original Vintage Poster by Roy Lichtenstein for MoMA 1989
By Roy Lichtenstein
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Drowning Girl by Roy Lichtenstein is an original poster created in 1989 by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The image is based off a story from a 1962 DC Comic, titled “Secret Love #83”. In the center of an image, a girl is swarmed by both water and emotion, seemingly about to drown. The speech bubble reads “I don’t care! I’d rather sink than call Brad for help!” The work by Lichtenstein was hand-painted and is an apt demonstration of the artists’ ability to imitate the process of mechanical print...
