HARRY W. GRAFF (DATES UNKNOWN) FLY CUBANA AIRLINES. Circa 1953.
34x22 inches. Harry W. Graff, Inc.
Condition A. Paper.
A seldom-seen, pre-Castro image for travel to Cuba. Cubana Airlines was founded in 1929, was subsumed by Pan American in 1932, and then became independent again in 1944, under the name Compania Cubano de Aviacion S. A.. Notice the Pan Am logo toward the front of both the Super Constellation and Vickers Viscount, helping to date the poster prior to 1954, when Pan Am sold its remaining stake in the company.
