This poster was created in 1955 for Howard Hughes’ Trans World Airlines promoting their routes to Disneyland in California, USA. Illustrated by influential American artist David Klein, this design features a wonderful view of the legendary Disneyland Park including lost relics such as the TWA Moonliner attraction. As well as the iconic Disneyland "Sleeping Beauty" Castle, the Jungle Cruise and Main Street Railway Station are also featured on the wonderful mid-century design. Exceptionally rare, this 1955 poster was created in conjunction with the parks first opening.
Hughes and TWA collaborated with Klein on many posters during the height of the golden-era of aviation from the 50’s through to the 70’s. These posters have become synonymous with that golden, mid-Century era of design. This beautiful poster has been backed on museum quality linen to ensure its preservation for the decades to come.
