Several artists working for BOAC during the 1950s designed silkscreen posters with bright, Day-Glo colors. Aldo Cosomati's work featured images of local denizens of the countries serviced by the airline and Dick Negus and Philip Sharland designed a number of bright, geometric images, suggesting that this might also be their work. Rare and previously unrecorded.
