These retro posters advertised travel in the past
While modernity and all the “instant” means (social networks, applications...) are at their peak, it is now relatively easy to read information about the chosen destination. But then How were we once doing to promote a destination? With books of course, but especially with paper advertisements. How could a simple poster with an image and very little text make people want to visit the country or region presented? You'll see that the simplistic graphics of these vintage tourist posters is as varied as the countries they represent.
Whether these posters come from a travel agency, a tourism department or a shipping or railway company, they highlight an attraction or a specific region intended to encourage the potential traveller to separate from a sum of money and to go to the destination in question. These posters, which have been seen for decades, are a special niche for art collectors. Many of these vintage posters capture a perfect view (and sometimes propagandist ) of the culture they represent. Combining beauty and history, this particular support has retained its popularity well after its golden age. These posters come from the Diesel Punks site on which you can find more.
Do you think these retro posters would make you want to travel today?
