There is edge and corner wear, small tears, and creasing; restored losses along the left edge and at the bottom left corner area; some surface scuffs and smudges; this fantastic midcentury airline travel poster should display beautifully once framed.
This gorgeous American Airlines poster depicts Chicago's skyline as a compressed, jewel-like arrangement of colorful modernist towers, with the Wrigley Building visible among them. Bold three-dimensional lettering spells out the city name in the foreground, its reflection pooling beneath. The soft green vignette and geometric treatment of the architecture give the composition an almost toy-like precision. A polished example of post-war American commercial illustration at its most optimistic.
