Lucky Strike - TWA the Lindbergh Line
Original vintage poster: Lucky Strike - TWA the Lindbergh Line. Luckies a light smoke of rich, ripe-bodied tobacco - "it's toasted" - Luckies are less acid! Trans World Airlines (1925-2001) was one of the first airlines to offer a coast to coast service in the USA: the Lindbergh Route. The route took 36 hours, initially via overnights in Kansas City, and was serviced by DC-2 airplanes. American cigarette brand, Lucky Strike, was founded in 1871 and reached its peak in popularity during the 1920-50s. Great image of a smiling girl wearing a mink coat and hat taking a cigarette from one of the gentleman as she boards a plane. Good condition, repaired tear, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
