The vintage travel poster created by Sabena Belgian World Airlines to promote travel to Mexico is a striking example of mid-20th-century aviation advertising. This poster, with its vivid imagery and strong cultural references, was designed to attract European travelers to the vibrant and exotic destination of Mexico. The centerpiece of the poster is a close-up image of a young woman adorned in traditional Mexican attire, her serene and confident expression bathed in warm sunlight.
