vintageadsThe COLORS. The illustrations! The two-toned woman who is all things to all people all day.
TWA (Trans World Airlines), 1965
ETA: further info - "American illustrator David Klein designed some of the most successful travel posters of the postwar era. A huge success on Madison Avenue in the 1950s, Klein won numerous awards for his work on the TWA campaign."
See the man himself with his New York/TWA poster, here. The man was a genius - he even made Air Cargo sexy. Image search is worth your time; his New York, San Francisco, and esp. St. Louis ones are stunning, and his non-commercial art is lush and psychedelic.
