LOWEREE (DATES UNKNOWN) 'ROUND THE WORLD / 'ROUND THE CLOCK / VIA PAN AMERICAN. 1955.
41 3/4x28 1/2 inches, 106x72 1/2 cm.
Condition B+: creases, abrasions and restoration in margins and image.
A complex design involving a sundial and a projection of the world, which despite its intricate detail, manages to efficiently convey its message. Stylistically this poster is exceptional for Pan American, as most of their posters from this era featured their planes and/or one of their destinations. Although no information can be found about this artist, it seems clear that he is following the modernist trend set by Abram Games for BEA posters from the same period.
