39 3/4x25 1/4 inches, 101x64 cm.
Condition A- / A: minor repaired tears and restoration at edges; minor creases in upper image. Silkscreened lettering.
A unique, graphic, bird's-eye view of the Grand Canyon, seen through the window of a TWA plane, identifiable via the lettering on the wing tip. This image was so popular that TWA used it with several different variants of text. Note also the curtains around the window, an indication of the earlier, more genteel days of air travel.
