1960 TWA, New York Original Vintage Poster

About the Item

This poster was created in 1960 for Howard Hughes’ Trans World Airlines promoting their routes to New York. Illustrated by influential American artist David Klein, this design features a wonderfully stylized view of the New York City highlights including the Statue Of Liberty, St Patrick's Cathedral and Brooklyn Bridge. Hughes and TWA collaborated with Klein on many posters during the height of the golden-era of aviation from the 50s through to the 70s. These posters have become synonymous with that golden, midcentury era of design.

Original Vintage TWA Portugal 1960s Travel Airline Poster, David Klein
By David Klein
Located in Bath, Somerset
Original vintage TWA Portugal 1960s travel advertising poster featuring a wonderful design by American artist David Klein. We adore Klein's typically stylised and colourful design of a mermaid, Portuguese fishing boat and windmill. Trans World Airlines (TWA) was a major airline in the United States that operated from 1930 until it was acquired by American Airlines in 2001. It was formed as Transcontinental & Western Air to operate a route from New York City to Los Angeles, soon followed by multiple National routes. Howard Hughes acquired control of TWA in 1939, and after World War II led the expansion of the airline to serve Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, making TWA a second unofficial flag carrier of the United States after Pan Am. David Klein (1918 – 2005) was an American artist, best known for his influential work in advertising. Although he produced illustrations for Broadway theatrical productions, Hollywood films, the United States Army, and numerous corporate clients, Klein is best remembered for the iconic travel images he created for Howard Hughes and Trans World Airlines (TWA). Between approximately 1955–1965, Klein designed numerous award-winning travel advertisement posters, the bulk for TWA, many of which are now considered emblematic of the 1960s Jet Age. In 1957 New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) added Klein's iconic TWA Times Square...
