1950 ' S TWA SAN FRANCISCO TRAVEL ART POSTER Full Bleed 25X40 MCM Vtg NR
Item History & Price
True vintage ORIGINAL 1950's, full bleed, TWA San Francisco travel poster measuring 39.5" tall x 25" wide. I recently found this poster at an estate rolled up with a couple of other random posters that were meaningless compared to this one... The colors in this poster are still vibrant and look very nice!! Please note that the lighting I was working with when I was taking pictures was not the most amazing, but I did the very best I could, and they look pretty good on my monitor for the... most part...
As you may see from the photos, there are some creases and wrinkles from how the paper was stored. Also in the top right corner, there is a coffee or water mark on the blue sky. Surprisingly the edges of this poster are really in pretty decent shape with very little to no fraying or tearing at all. The edges are worn in areas, and you might possibly find a couple really really small spots, but really nothing sizable or really noticeable. I did not see any pin holes from this being hung up either. The backside of the paper has yellowed a bit, but I think having the paper rolled up all its life most likely preserved the colors!!
Based on my experience in this business of buying/selling, it looks as though the owners of the estate were most likely the original owners of this poster, and they somehow picked it up maybe when TWA was getting rid of this piece. Then they just simply rolled it up, tucked it away, and forgot about it for the last 60 years...
Please note that I am not an expert in vintage poster/paper collecting. I do have some broad basic knowledge of what to look for though, and I do my very best to show and disclose everything! If you have any specific questions don't hesitate to ask, and I will do my best to answer! Also look at the photos as they are a part of the description.
Thanks for looking!
