Here's a selection of 1930s travel posters; all works of art. Take a moment to enjoy them and the glamourous trips they promote. Remember, these posters came out while the Great Depression was going on. Obviously some people were doing just fine.
Elspeth - Ah, such luxury! Love that "Egypt" poster especially. I wonder if it was also a case of escapism. Even people who couldn't begin to afford a vacation could dream....
There's something about that artwork that puts you in the right time zone. I wonder if we have anything distinctive in our decade?

ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! I especially love the Holland America one...sort of an art deco feel to it somehow...
ReplyDeleteTerry; Time will tell!
ReplyDeleteMargot; I'm sure you're right - you might not be able to go, but you can dream!
Elizabeth; The art deco feel is certainly there, isn't it?
These are absolutely fabulous. I love this era. The bold colors, the striking lines - great stuff. Thanks for sharing. Totally made my day!
