An Unfolded Swiss Travel Poster (measures 25 1/4" x 40 1/4" [64 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Pan Am: Switzerland, the 1940s (perhaps 1944) Swiss airplane airline aviation travel poster ("Fly by Clipper to Switzerland for the thrill of your life in winter"; "Hiver en Suisse"; "Winter in Switzerland"; "Pan American Airways System") promoting travel to Switzerland aboard Pan Am's Boeing 314 Clipper flying boats, and featuring wonderful Richard Gerbig art of skiers, bobsledders, and a snowy village! Note that this is likely the earliest airplane travel poster we have ever auctioned, because airplane travel did not become something available for the general public until around the time this poster was made (and commercial airplanes were pretty primitive at the start, so they were really speaking literally when they wrote "Fly by Clipper for the thrill of your life")! If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Richard Gerbig Important Added Info: Note that this is one of 11 wonderful travel and skiing related posters that were recently discovered in Canada after having sat undisturbed for many decades! We had only auctioned ONE of these posters one time before and the other 10 we had NEVER auctioned! All would benefit from restoration, but most are the kind that do not need a lot of restoration, and after being backed they will display wonderfully (and it is quite possible it will be many years before we again auction even one of these!). Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded but it was stored rolled and it has some light "waves" scattered through the poster, and a light diagonal crease running from the top left to the upper right of the image. It has some slight staining and tiny tears in the edges of the left and right borders. After a very simple linenbacking this rare and desirable poster will display wonderfully.
