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...

Original 1933 Italian travel poster promotes Trento - ENIT Italian Railways
Located in PARIS, FR
This magnificent original 1933 Italian travel poster promotes Trento, issued by ENIT (Ente Nazionale Italiano per il Turismo) to celebrate this Alpine city’s cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty. The poster features an elegant and detailed illustration of the Monumento a Dante, the imposing statue of Dante Alighieri inaugurated in 1896, framed by a lush landscaped park and set against the dramatic backdrop of the Dolomite foothills. The harmonious composition bathes Trento in the gentle warm light of a late afternoon, with pastel pink clouds illuminating the scene and a palette of bright florals and deep green conifers guiding the viewer’s gaze toward the monument. Printed by the renowned Chappuis printing house in Bologna, the poster is marked with the ENIT emblem at lower left, signifying its official purpose to promote Italy’s regional cities and historic sites. The stylised border and typographic simplicity evoke the Art Deco aesthetic popular in Italian graphic design during the 1930s, combining classical elegance with modern clarity. Trento, historically a meeting point of Italian and Germanic cultures, was in the interwar period developing its tourism identity as the “Gateway to the Dolomites.” This poster captures that strategy, celebrating both the city’s urban sophistication and its natural surroundings. Today, ENIT posters...
