About the Item

We're thrust into the heart of an intense soccer (or football, if you will) match in this exciting 1963 poster that was printed in Spain. The two teams compete in a header-off for the ball. This poster is shown before a banner of text would have been added; likely promoting the team's next match or a season schedule. This poster is a bit of a mystery with regards to the teams being depicted. While many may attribute the blue and white jerseys to the national kit for Argentina, they did not play the Spanish national team in 1962 or 1963. It is much more likely that it is a La Liga game being shown here, or perhaps even a match from the Inter Cities Fairs Cup of 1962 or 1963; both years were won by the club team, Valencia. The victorious team's kits match those of Valencia, and this is the location that the poster was printed in so it appears to be a good, while not confirmed, hunch. The Inter Cities Fairs Cup was a precursor to the FIFA World Cup, featuring club teams rather than national teams in competition with one another. It is one of two images in a series. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.

Fly TWA - Rome Swiss Guard - David Klein
By David Klein
Located in Boca Raton, FL
TWA (Trans World Airlines) was formed in 1924 as Transcontinental & Western Air. The airline's first route was New York to Los Angeles, soon followed by multiple National routes. The airline expanded to serve Europe, the Middle East and Asia after WWII when the company was under the control of Howard Hughes, owner from 1939 until 1961. Hughes was a dominant force in expanding and promoting the routes flown by his company. The economy was vastly improving, and travels through air for business and pleasure increased too. Posters were a key element to promoting this form of travel and TWA. The airline started a decline in the 1970s that ended up in a third bankruptcy that caused their acquisition by American Airlines in 2001. The airline operated in 132 destinations worldwide and had a fleet size of 190. This Rome poster...

Original Soccer vintage sports poster. Linen backed in very good condition, ready to frame. Printed by Ortega Company in Valencia. This type of untitled vintage poster was commonly printed and the date of an upcoming game and team would be added at the bottom of the poster. Soccer games were played quite often, allowing the local team to advertise their events without reprinting a new poster for each game or event. This poster was printed as a full lithograph, so it was expensive to produce. There is no specific designation of which two teams are being shown here in this antique poster The poster has a nickname of ‘heads-up,” as two of the players are in the air as they position themselves to control the soccer ball. Valencia two main clubs, FC València and Levante UD, attract hordes of fans to their matches. Both clubs play in the First Division of La Liga...
