Original Pan American Mexico vintage travel poster
By Edward McKnight Kauffer
Located in Spokane, WA
Original Mexico Pan Am Pan American vintage travel poster. The world's most experienced airline. Festivals Old and New. Artist: Edward McKnight Kauffer. Printer: Gugler Lithographic Company, USA. Linen-backed, ready to frame. In very fine to excellent condition. No restoration, flaws, stains, or fading. Edward McKnight Kauffer was an American artist who became renowned for his work as a graphic designer and poster artist, particularly during the early 20th century. While he was born in the United States in 1890, he spent much of his career working in Europe, particularly in London, where he moved in 1914 and eventually settled. Kauffer's style was highly innovative for its time, blending Cubism, Futurism, and abstraction elements into his designs. He was known for his bold use of color, geometric shapes, and dynamic compositions, which made his work highly distinctive and influential. Kauffer made significant contributions to poster art, particularly through his commissions for various companies and organizations. One notable client was Pan American Airways, for whom he created a series of iconic posters promoting air travel and the destinations served by the airline. The Pan Am to Mexico poster is a striking example of Kauffer's modernist style, characterized by bold colors, geometric shapes, and simplified forms. In this particular piece, Kauffer employed vibrant hues and abstract imagery to capture the allure and excitement of air travel to Mexico. During the 1940s, Pan American Airways, commonly known as Pan Am, was at the forefront of international air travel, significantly shaping the global aviation industry. Here are some key aspects of Pan Am's operations and influence during that period: Linen backed, ready to frame. Original McKnight Kauffer vintage travel poster to Mexico via Pan American Airlines.
