Note that there are three different versions of this poster, the first one is from 1962, and the others from later in the 1960s (there is one from 1967 that has a tagline, "Up, Up and Away" in the lower right, but the ad agency TWA used did not get the rights to that lyric from the Fifth Dimension song, and they were sued!). Artist: David Klein Important Added Info: Note that most (if not all) of the TWA travel posters of this time measured approximately 25" x 40". However, this poster measures 15 3/4" x 25". We don't know if they made this smaller size for all of their posters, or if maybe this was just an experiment. If anyone knows more about any of this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. We have NEVER auctioned this particular poster in this size before! Note finally that the "Up Up and Away TWA" tagline was first used in 1967 and lasted about a year. "Up, Up and Away" was pop song most famously sung by the Fifth Dimension, and an advertising agency came up with the idea of using it to promote TWA. It was a hit but there was a lawsuit over the use of the song, and when that was settled, TWA had switched advertising agencies. Condition: very good to fine. The poster has never been folded and it is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
