My tiny collection of travel posters

Here's to hoping it grows with nice quality items like this:


"Holidays on the Belgian Coast" (1947), André Brocorens





"B.O.A.C. takes good care of you" (1949), John Wonley (?)

Those are great!

I've always liked the idea of a themed, extra curricular (non film) collection.

One of my favorites is supraman's Canne Film Festival poster collection.

Any idea what B-O-A-C is?

B-O-A-C is "British Overseas Airways Corporation", a predecessor of British Airways.  I had to pick this one up because of the personal irony, as my recent experiences with BA have been atrocious.  I suspect that many in the UK could identify with that as well....
