New York New York / American Airlines. Circa 1965. Offset lithograph poster. 101½x75 cm, 40x29½ inches.
In this energetic composition of a rainy Times Square, "many of the signs in this poster did not actually exist or were situated elsewhere in the neighborhood . . . Two pop-culture references help to determine the date of this poster: Hello Dolly premiered on Broadway in 1964, and the headline 'Gemini Pilots in Orbit' that appears on the news 'zipper' would have been announced between 1965 and 1966" (New York p. 171). Additionally, the AA and eagle logo in the red circle was in use from 1962-1967.
