TWA Las Vegas 1950s Airline Travel Advertising Poster, David Klein

A fabulous original TWA Las Vegas airline travel advertising poster by David Klein, dating from the 1950s. Bursting with colour, glamour and playful detail, the design presents Las Vegas as a dazzling playground of nightlife, entertainment and desert fantasy. It is a wonderfully evocative example of mid-century American travel advertising.

TWA, one of the great names of 20th-century aviation, used poster campaigns to sell the romance and excitement of air travel. Las Vegas was an ideal subject, perfectly suited to the bright, modern and slightly theatrical style of post-war airline promotion.

David Klein's TWA posters are among the most collectable travel posters of the period. His ability to combine landmarks, mood and decorative graphic design made his work instantly recognisable. This Las Vegas design has all the energy and optimism that makes his posters so enduringly popular.

This vintage advertising poster was originally rolled and has now been professionally linen-backed. It is sized 25 1/4 x 40 inches (plus a little more with the linen) and will be sent rolled (unframed)
