One sheet vintage travel poster for
British South American Airways (BSAA), titled "Starliner Routes".
About the Poster
Airline: British South American Airways (BSAA) was a British state-owned airline that operated from 1946 until it merged with the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) in 1949.
Routes: The map illustrates the "Starliner" routes connecting Europe (London and Lisbon) and Africa (Dakar and Natal) to various destinations in South and Central America and the West Indies, including Bermuda, Jamaica (Kingston), Santiago, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, and Lima.
Aircraft: The "Starliner" name likely refers to the Avro Starliner, a proposed airliner from the era, though BSAA primarily used Avro Lancastrians and Yorks, among other aircraft.
Artist/Year: The original poster was produced around 1946 and is often attributed to the artist Herbert Gwynn. |
