Swissair Japan 1968 by Uemura Shoko
$ 440
Swissair – Japan – Uemura Shōkō, 1968, 25 × 38.5 in

Description
Vintage travel poster commissioned by Swissair in 1968 to promote flights to Japan. The design features a geisha in kimono with the word “JAPAN” printed in metallic gold ink, a printing detail often used in Japanese tourism posters of the period to emphasize luxury and refinement. The artwork is derived from Uemura Shōkō’s 1936 painting Jo no Mai, a study of a Noh dance prelude. Uemura worked in the Nihonga tradition, which fused traditional Japanese painting techniques with modern presentation, making his imagery a natural fit for mid-century cultural promotion. This original offset lithograph was printed in Japan, mounted on linen, and remains in excellent “A” condition.

Artist: Uemura Shōkō
Date: 1968
Printer: Japan Tourist Association (for Swissair)
Print Type: Offset lithograph (with metallic gold)
Condition: Excellent “A,” linen backed
Comments: Original Swissair travel poster for Japan, featuring Uemura Shōkō’s celebrated Jo no Mai image in the Nihonga style. Linen mounted and in excellent condition.

PARIS OPERA BY MARC CHAGALL ORIGINAL VINTAGE FRENCH TRAVEL POSTER 1964
$ 2,950
PARIS OPERA ROMEO AND JULIETTE BY MARC CHAGALL 1964

Marc Chagall painted the ceiling of the Paris Opera, officially known as the Palais Garnier, in 1963. His work replaced the original design by Jules-Eugène Lenepveu and was unveiled in 1964. The mural spans 2,400 square feet and celebrates famous composers like Mozart, Wagner, and Debussy. Using vivid colors and dreamlike imagery, Chagall created a striking contrast with the opera’s classical architecture. Initially, some critics felt it clashed with the historic setting, but it later became a beloved feature of the opera house.

In 1969, Chagall designed a travel poster for Air France featuring Romeo and Juliet. The artwork shows the lovers floating in an embrace above a colorful landscape, blending fantasy and romance. His deep blues, reds, and yellows create a dreamlike atmosphere, reflecting France’s cultural richness. Today, this poster remains one of the most well-known travel images linked to his work.
