One sheet, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Vintage Poster
This image is a vintage travel poster for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, titled "Welcome in EUROPE". It was created by Emile Brumsteede, also known as Mile, and dates to around 1955.
The poster depicts passengers disembarking from a KLM plane to be greeted by a diverse group of people in various European folk costumes. The inclusion of different national dress styles suggests that KLM offered flights to multiple destinations across Europe. The style is a classic example of mid-century advertising art. The aircraft depicted in the poster is a
Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation. This plane was introduced by KLM in 1953 and was used on routes such as Amsterdam to New York. The distinctive triple tail fin is a key identifying feature of the Constellation series of aircraft |
