I love these types of posters. So simple in design but so eye catching.

Beautiful. I agree: simple, clean and eye-catching. Very Art Deco, too.

Obviously this is before "LaGuardia" was built?

I noticed the bottom plane looked like it was landing in water and I my first thought was, "I guess Captain Sully wasn't the first to have that idea!" Then I noticed where it said "East River Seaplane Bases." Oh, so it's supposed to do that.

This is a sexy ad! Love it!

That is just magnificent artwork. Beautiful design. Excellent typography. Art deco at its finest.

This would look great hanging up on someone's wall. Do you know who designed the poster?
