Italian travel posters

I received the book "Travel Italia" today, about vintage Italian travel posters. This is a stunning book,l and it's highly recommended.

If you want to browse these posters on the web, you could go here: http://www.posterclassics.com/vintage-italian-poster.html

Vintage travel posters

Kerne Erickson (see one of the previous posts) is a contemporary artist capturing the essense of vintage travel posters, but this exhibition from The Los Angeles Public Library is the real thing:

"Speed, style and grace — these epitomize the Golden Age of travel in its simplest form.
The 1920’s and 1930’s ushered in an unprecedented era of travel to exotic and romantic destinations. And nowhere was this more clearly expressed than in the travel posters of that time. The Los Angeles Public Library ’s collection of travel posters perfectly captures this era. With this exhibition, the Library shares its bounty with the public for the first time."

some of the posters can be bought from the 'vintage' sections at www.allposters.com or www.art.com.
