I tried to get this one on Heritage last week but the price went too high ($135) - the scale of the poster (extremely tall columns, small people) is an unusual take:

also spotted another I liked from the archives (actually a movie poster but looks like travel ad):

Those United posters were very nice, Mel. I was surprised with how high they went. I would have enjoyed having them all, but it wasn't in the cards.

Sometimes you forget what is even on your own wall's!

These are not as exotic as some travel posters, and at the moment they are on the wall in one of our toilets. Though I do like pics from places local, or where I have been to.

Yes great poster.
I have the original printing version showing the constellation (propeller) aircraft (one above shows the jet engined version)

Not sure if I have shown this one (40cm x 56cm)

Damn nice, sorry about the blur. Need to photograph it properly.

I'll take a dozen of those Southern Cali by United.

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #10 on:** April 19, 2012, 10:51:42 PM »

Some of the great travel posters sold tonight by Emovie. I took a shot at the Southern Cali but came up short:

And last but not least, the Hawaii poster sold for $680.

Mel, did you alter the 2nd Egypt poster image? Thought there was a big chunk out of the top left corner?

Yep, I digitally covered the missing piece to make it prettier. And I would have got away with it except for those meddling ~~kids~~ Canadians!

Awesome poster, Chris.
I've been to the Luxor in Vegas.
Don't tell me they opened another one in Egypt?

Ari · « **Reply #18 on:** April 30, 2012, 06:17:25 AM »

I been there too, maybe we met. I was the skinny fella with an aussie accent, who couldn't find anything to eat in the buffet and didn't gamble.

Were some or all of these TWA Klein pieces distributed on cardstock (like 40x60s, etc)?

I was at this antique show I go to all the time, and this lady had a Ireland one that was on cardstock but was bent to hell. She wanted the moon for it, I wasn't even going to give a star, metaphorically speaking.

Just curious if anyone else has seen these on something other than paper.
