VISIT HONG KONG / FLY THERE BY BOAC. Circa 1950s.
29 3/4x19 3/4 inches, 75 1/2x50 cm. Condition A: minor creases and abrasions at edges.
An atmospheric evening view of Sampans and Junks in Hong Kong harbor. The silhouette of the four-engine propeller plane in the lower text helps date the poster. BOAC's first flight connecting Hong Kong and Heathrow was in 1949 and was accomplished by the four-engine Canadair Argonaut. Service switched to BOAC's Bristol Britannias in 1957. They began flying jet planes on the route in the late-1950s. Rare.
