EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking poster, titled "Air Mail" by the renowned graphic designer Lee-Elliott, transports us back to the golden age of aviation in the 20th century. The poster's captivating design, available through Onslows Auctioneers and Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the elegance and sophistication of air travel during this era. The poster's predominantly blue, black, and white color palette creates a sense of tranquility and reliability, reflecting the promise of swift and efficient communication across great distances. The central image of a pillar-like structure, adorned with the insignia of various countries, symbolizes the interconnectedness of the world through air mail services. The intricate details of the design, such as the stylized planes soaring above and the meticulously drawn envelopes and stamps, evoke a sense of nostalgia for a time when sending a letter or postcard was a significant event. The poster's bold typography, with the words "Air Mail" and "Communications" prominently displayed, emphasizes the importance of this new mode of transport in connecting people and cultures. Lee-Elliott's masterful use of geometric shapes and clean lines adds to the poster's visual appeal, making it a desirable piece for collectors and design enthusiasts alike. This poster serves as a testament to the power of design in capturing the spirit of a bygone era and the enduring allure of air travel.
