An original TWA travel poster by David Klein dedicated to Israel. Part of his celebrated series of destination posters produced for Trans World Airlines between 1955 and 1965 — widely regarded as some of the finest travel posters of the mid-20th century.
The composition centres on a monumental menorah — the seven-branched candelabrum that is one of the oldest symbols of Judaism and the official emblem of the State of Israel — rendered in Klein's characteristic bold, luminous palette against a vivid background.
A powerful and immediate image that conveys both the ancient heritage and the young nation's vitality. Klein's graphic sensibility and vibrant use of color perfectly captured the glamour and optimism of the jet age. A sought-after piece among aviation and travel poster collectors.
This piece is sold unframed, carefully rolled and shipped in a rigid tube to ensure it arrives in pristine condition.
