About the Item

Original travel poster: THESSALONIKI GREECE. Church of St. George (Mosaic, 5th Century). Linen backed in excellent condition; ready to frame. Signed with monogram lower left corner. Published by the National Tourist Organization, Athens. Excellent condition. The Church of St. George was constructed during the early years of the Roman tetrarchy when Caesar Galerius (250-311 AD) was stationed in Thessaloniki. However, the most remarkable remnants of the monument's Early Christian phase are its stunning mosaics—the earliest mural mosaics in the Middle East. (The church is also known as The Rotunda of St. George.) The church is now one of the 15 Paleo-Christian and Byzantine monuments in Thessaloniki that were included in the 1988 UNESCO World Heritage List.

Original Rome Fly TWA Jets vintage American travel poster
By David Klein
Located in Spokane, WA
Original Rome Fly TWA Jets vintage travel poster. Conservation linen backed in excellent condition, ready to frame. This is the earlier edition of the image Before ‘up up and away’! TWA (Trans World Airlines) was formed in 1924 as Transcontinental & Western Air. The airline's first route was from New York to Los Angeles, followed by multiple National routes. The airline expanded to serve Europe, the Middle East, and Asia after WWII when the company was under Howard Hughes's owner's control from 1939 until 1961. Hughes was a dominant force in expanding and promoting his company's routes. The economy was vastly improving, and travel by air for business and pleasure increased, too. Posters were a crucial element in promoting this form of travel and TWA. The airline started a decline in the 1970s, ending in a third bankruptcy that caused its acquisition by American Airlines in 2001. The airline operated in 132 destinations worldwide and had a fleet size of 190. This Rome poster was created by the gifted American artist David Klein (1918 -2005), and depicts a member of the Pontifical Swiss Guard in the center wearing the iconic yellow, blue, and red uniform. The Guard is playing a drum that has the pontifical emblem. In the background, we see a representation of the ancient Roman Coliseum and the Baroque...
