Description

Original Poster, no Date or Artist stated, but was found with a collection of airline posters from the 1960s-1970s, 25 x 38 (60.5 cm x 96.5 cm), Printed on a very heavy paper stock. Colors: Florescent Pink (which is more vivid than the photos convey)/Brown/Tan/Green-Grey. Text reads from Top to Bottom: "Mexico City Guadalajara Acapulco/ Zihuatanejo Ixtapa Manzanillo/ Western Airlines."
Very Rare Western Airlines poster design which may have gone unused due to the misspelling of "Zihuatanejo" (spelled "Zihuantanejo"). I can find no record of this design in the Getty library or various archives, but judging from the unusually heavy paper-stock and lack of copy-editing, it seems likely this is a test print of some sort.
CONDITION:
Slight wear to the upper right edge near corner (see Image 5), and the bottom right edge near corner, with a second similar bump about 10" up (both visible in Image 5). Beyond that, the poster appears as new with bright, vibrant color.
POSTER WILL BE SHIPPED ROLLED IN A HEAVY-DUTY POSTER TUBE.
