It been too long since I last showed you my favorite vintage airline posters! I've rounded up a few more and thrown in some non-airline ones. I find these works of art so fun and graphically amazing! I can't imagine what it must have been like in the 40s or 50s being an artist and trying to "sell" Africa to a crowd of Europeans. It's also amazing how the same concepts used to draw people in so many years ago (namely: seeing "natives" and going on "safari") are predominantly the same concepts used to draw tourists to the Continent today. {Photos: here & here}

We print every order with our Epson 9890 and 9900 printer with Epson HDR Ultrachrome archival ink. We also use Epson heavyweight enhanced matte paper. Both combination have an archival rating of 125+ years. It is perfectly for framing, mounting, or direct display on any wall. If you are interested in ordering custom size or custom type paper such as fine art or rag paper, canvas, ...etc, please contact me. If you like the price of the print I am offering, but you can not find the specific map in my store. Please contact me, because chances are I might have them. Disclaimer: Please noted that there will have additional white space around the actual print. For example, if you order a 16x20 size print, there will be approx. 1" to 2" additional space around the print. The additional white space is acting like a cushion during the shipping. The print will move violently up and down during the shipping and there is for sure the side of the print may bend or damage. With the additional white space on 4 sides, it can prevent this problem. I understand this may cost you extra time to trim the print to fit in a poster frame. I rather you can receive a perfect print instead a damage one.Thank you very much for your order! Your print(s) will be ready to ship within 3 business days. The Etsy will automatically send you the tracking information of your package. Please inspect your order ASAP. If there is any damage on your order, you MUST contact me within 2 days upon arrival. In the future, if you like what you get, I can also print your favorite photos or any images in customize size and paper (photo paper, fine art paper, canvas...etc) in a competitive price. Quality work is my top priority.
All these images are by one of my favourite of the early African studio photographers, A.James, active in Conakry circa 1900-1910. As far as I am aware, and unlike many of his contemporaries, his life and work has as yet not been researched. They are superbly evocative images, combining poise, beauty, fashionable hairstyles, jewellery, locally woven and imported textiles ….
