The Pacific Northwest
Halfsheet
vintage travel poster advertising the Pacific Northwest by Western Air Lines, likely dating from the mid-20th century. The poster features an illustration of a lake scene, generally identified as near Mount Rainier or Mount St. Helens, with people fishing and an airplane flying overhead.
Poster Details
Airline: Western Air Lines
Tagline: "Skyway to Western Playgrounds"
Location Depicted: The image is generally associated with areas in the Pacific Northwest like Mount Rainier or near Spirit Lake in Washington state.
Artist: The artist is typically listed as "Unknown Artist" in many modern reproductions, though some original posters from that era were designed by artists like Chet Engle or Gustav Krollmann, who created similar works.
The aircraft in the poster appears to be an artistic rendition of a
Douglas DC-6B or a similar large, piston-powered airliner, which Western Air Lines operated extensively in the 1950s and 1960s.
The poster itself is a mid-20th century advertisement, likely from the 1950s, a period when the DC-6B was a prominent part of the Western Airlines fleet. The rendering of the aircraft is stylized, so specific details might be generalized; however, its size and four engines are consistent with the larger propeller aircraft used by the airline before the jet age began for Western with the introduction of the Boeing 707 in 1960.
