The poster was folded once horizontally and twice vertically; there is both toning/darkening and paper loss along the fold lines; edge and corner wear and small losses; surface smudges/darkening/soiling; some creasing bottom right corner area; despite its defects, this fun Caribbean silkscreen travel poster should display nicely once framed.
A lively and cheerful piece of jet-age airline art. A dancer balances a fruit basket on her head while a monkey swings overhead and a cigar-smoking parrot looks on, all rendered in bold, flat graphic style against a warm golden ground. The illustration is loose and confident, with real wit in the details.
BWIA posters are considerably scarcer than their American and European counterparts, making this an uncommon find in the Caribbean travel category.
