The Rise of Travel Posters
In the late 19th century, as railway travel became more accessible, travel posters emerged as a powerful tool for promoting destinations for pleasure. The concept of ‘tourism’, which had been only for the very wealthy, was slowly becoming democratised. These early posters, often featuring picturesque landscapes and elegant figures, ignited a sense of adventure and exploration.
The New Century
During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Britain, France, and the Netherlands used vibrant posters to showcase their exotic colonies to their audiences at home. These posters, with their bold colours and captivating narratives, played a pivotal role in enticing travellers to embark on adventurous journeys overseas.
The Golden Age of Travel
The early to mid-20th century is also marked as the "Golden Age of Travel," fueled by the allure of adventure and new experiences. Travel posters continued to evolve, showcasing domestic and international destinations and inspiring countless journeys.
The Mad Men Era
The 1950’s brought a shift towards the new, glamorous airline travel, and with it, a new type of poster emerged. Airlines commissioned talented designers and artists to create visually stunning works of art that captured the essence of their destinations.
