Thread: Vintage Travel Posters

I love this sort of advertising. Some of it is worth loads now. Will unearth some of my faves

Jeez when you mentioned Vintage travel posters, I was thinkin Terry57 has gotta be in here somewhere.

OK I better add

Here's Blue's dad, note the after shag body language

Excellent! They're so gaudy and colourful.
Interesting that most are advertising some very exotic destinations which would only be for the very wealthy.
Found a few more good ones by searching Flikr.

^ That HK one is one of my faves. I had a print of it at one time

It is really cool. There's a couple or three from the Los Angeles library site that I'll get printed and put into frames, the colours are really vibrant and the images very evocative I think is the right word.

I used to like provocative, now I like evocative... really am mellowing out.

Mate brought some copy's in the Russian market here in Phnom Penh.

Nice little earner if you can print them cheap

i watched a docu the other day, just after world war 2 where there was a big spike in the economy, hmmm, maybe it was world war 1 and the 1920's. Anyway there was a huge advertising campaign about visiting France.

Me, too. But as Scarlett O'Hara said "Tomorrow is another day"

nice thread.

Good stuff. Wonderful illustrations from another time.

The irony is too much for me on a Monday morning. Not sure whether to laugh sardonically, or weep.

All these are on pinterest and facebook already
