40x25 1/4 inches, 101 1/2x64 cm. Condition A- / B+: minor creases and time staining in margins; small stain in left margin. Paper.
There are several different text variants for this poster, which provides a view of the Grand Canyon from within the TWA airplane. The unknown artist clearly picked up on the visual tradition previously used in train posters, of showing the scenery through the frame of the window - with a curtain to further denote the interior setting.
