CHARLES ROBERT PERRIN (1915-1999)
New York / Northeast Airlines. Circa 1961. Offset lithograph poster. 87½x60 cm, 34½x23½ inches;
"Northeast Airlines was formed in 1940, ultimately merging with Delta Air Lines in 1972. It began using Convair 880 jets in 1960, indicating that this poster, which features one in the upper register, could not have been printed before that date. By 1966, Northeast Airlines had changed its livery to yellow and white, and its planes became known as the Yellowbirds" (New York p. 169). Perrin highlights the bustling city streets filled with busy shoppers, a hot dog cart, pigeons blurred by their movement, and a historical, bishop's crook, twin-lamp post.
