Gallery of travel posters from the 1920’s and 1930’s


Golden Age of Travel

The Los Angeles Public Library system is having a virtual art show featuring brilliantly drawn art deco (some futurist) travel posters from the 1920s and 1930. The Golden Age of Travel as it’s called, these posters emphasis that traveling was once a stylish and graceful experience, opposite of what we experience today on basically any flight with other people on it. Some of the highlights include the Orient Lines poster and some beautiful early airline travel posters (Air France is lovely). This is the first time that the LA Library System has shared it’s collection, which is quite exciting for the inner art-nerd in us.
