There is very minor edge and corner wear and small tears; some minor cracking/creasing; some smudges along the upper right edge; this colorful Chicago airline travel poster should display beautifully once framed.
Fred Conway's aerial view of the Chicago River corridor reads more as expressionist painting than travel poster with loose, gestural brushwork dissolving the Loop into a cascade of color. American Airlines' destination series occasionally commissioned genuine fine artists rather than commercial illustrators, and this is one of the better results.
