poster art

while hunting for old propaganda posters, i came across these lovely vintage travel posters.

great use of colour on the hawaii poster. the new york one is pure sophistication. i like the smart persuasion of the delta air poster for atlanta.


totally beautiful. would look great on a wall. not so great as a poster, though. what are people to think?


lovely colour and juxtaposition. an eye-catcher. these games went on to be called the 'austerity games', a nod to the privations and rationing of the post-war years.


a commercial poster. lovely use of colour and an unusual perspective. the work of an artist. the foot sticking out is a nice touch.


ww-2 propaganda poster focusing on the anglo-american alliance. rather direct, with hitler and goebbels lurking with evil intentions in the background - diminished figures compared to the robust allies on the foreground.


che always makes for great graphics. such an iconic picture. what a charismatic man. what could he have been thinking of, to have prompted that far off gaze? certainly not being emblazzoned on t-shirts and coffee mugs, at any rate.
