TWA / STAR - STREAM JET. Circa 1960.
40x25 inches, 102x64 cm. Condition A-: expert restoration at edges and in upper left image.
Often attributed to David Klein, though unsigned, it bears greater resemblance to the airline posters of Frank Soltesz. "TWA entered the jet age in 1959 with the Boeing 707, the four-engined jet easily identified by its forward pointing antenna on the tail" (Airline Artistry, p. 9). A variant of this poster bears the text "Boeing 707," on the side of the aircraft, lacks the yellow globe outlines around the logo, and features yellow text in the background. This is the larger version. Airline Artistry p. 9 (var).
