FRANK WOOTTON (1914-1998)
Vuele a Los EE - UU Por BOAC. 1950. Offset lithograph poster. 76¾x52¾ cm, 30¼x20¾ inches.
This poster "provides an evocative glimpse of the countless illuminated windows of Midtown office buildings and the glow of streetlights on a rainy night" (New York p. 162). "At the upper right, a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser, recognizable by its bulbous nose, speeds through the night sky. The aircraft, which went into service in 1950, was based on the design for the B-29 Superfortress used during World War II, and was designed to compete with the Lockheed Constellation and the Douglass DC-6" (Ibid.).
