A fine example of an early British poster aimed at taking a widening proportion of the middle classes on early Winter Sport holidays. It advertises flying BEA to skiing destinations in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
Beautifully presented skier in a vintage, mid-century style carving his way through the snow, steeped in colour.
BEA (British European Airways) produced stunning travel posters from the 1940s to the 1970s, promoting destinations across Europe, the UK, and the Mediterranean. These posters featured bold typography, vibrant colors, and stylish mid-century illustrations.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm.
Note: there is a slight tape stain in the bottom right, just stain, no repair.
When framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.
These posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
