Swissair Hans Looser
Original vintage mid-century travel advertising poster for Swissair featuring a colourful painting by the renowned graphic artist Hans Looser (1919-1988) depicting a smiling lady wearing black gloves, a blue jacket and hat and a green polka dot scarf waving to the viewer in the foreground, and smartly dressed passengers and a child boarding a plane being greeted by an air hostess at the top of the steps in the background, the red and white Swiss flag on the tail and text in bold letters on the blue sky above. Founded in 1931 Swissair was the national airline of Switzerland until 2002. Good condition, restored tears, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All antique and vintage posters listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Most of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves drawing a reverse image of each colour 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, I 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 £35 for orders placed via our website.
