The margins have been slightly trimmed and there is some surface scratching/abrasions, typical of silkscreen posters that have been previously handled; some creases, most noticeable in the upper red area; small stain spot above the "BO" in "BOAC;" despite its defects, this beautiful poster should display very nicely once framed.
A gold Chinese dragon coils within a cream circle against a blazing red ground, the composition reduced to three colors and pure graphic confidence. There is nothing extraneous here; the image does everything required and does it beautifully.
One of the strongest BOAC destination posters and a genuine crossover piece, appealing equally to collectors of British airline art, Chinese decorative arts, and anyone who simply appreciates exceptional graphic design.
