About the Item
This evocative original Soviet travel poster by Aeroflot, the USSR’s national airline, captures the serene grandeur of Baku, capital of Soviet Azerbaijan, as night falls over the Caspian Sea. Bathed in cool blue twilight, the city’s lights begin to sparkle, tracing the elegant curve of the bay and illuminating Baku’s urban sprawl in a celestial glow.
The image is dominated by the silhouette of the towering “Motherland” statue, a powerful Soviet symbol of strength and resilience, watching protectively over the city. Her raised arm seems to greet travelers arriving by air—welcoming them to a modern, forward-looking Baku poised between tradition and transformation.
Set against this majestic nighttime panorama, the Cyrillic and Latin “Baku” inscriptions on the side and the iconic Aeroflot logo along the bottom ground the poster firmly in its purpose: to entice foreign and domestic passengers alike to explore the USSR’s diverse republics via the comfort and reach of Aeroflot’s global fleet.
A stunning blend of mid-century photographic design, Soviet idealism, and Azerbaijani cultural pride, this poster is a treasured relic of an era when state-sponsored travel promoted unity, wonder, and ambition. A compelling piece for collectors of Soviet travel ephemera, aviation history, or Caspian regional aesthetics.
