Fly South - poster issued by BEA designed by Geoffrey Salter, c1951
A reminder of sunnier days and travel in this c1951 poster for the old British European Airways, one of the two 'State" airliners in the UK before the merger with BOAC and the eventual creation of British Airways. By 1951 the years of post-war austerity where starting to ease but even so, a holiday abroad and flying there would have been less than commonplace. The poster is by Geoffrey Salter and the campaign was handled for BEA by Colman, Prentice & Varley. The plate appears in the Penrose Annual for 1952.
