Hong Kong — Fly Qantas (c. 1960)

Neon nights, silk sheen, harbour sails. This finely reproduced Qantas destination poster weaves together curio-shop glamour, festival colour and a sweep of junk sails beneath green mountains—pure jet-age romance for your wall.

Why it captivates

Jet-age glamour — the optimism and elegance of 1960s long-haul travel.
Mid-century design — bold typography, clean grid, rich colour blocks.
Sense of place — cheongsam chic, temple celebrations, skyline and harbour.
Luminous palette — magenta, jade and sea-blue that brighten any room.
Conversation piece — classic airline ephemera with collector appeal.
Statement artwork — an eye-catching focal point for living spaces or offices.

What you’ll see

Panel by panel:

Curio shop portrait — a woman in a vivid cheongsam amid shelves of porcelain and lacquer.
Harbour by night — the city glowing from The Peak.
Temple festivities — New Year decorations and traditional dress.
Emblem panel — a jade-green block with a round insignia.
Wide panorama — a fleet of junks skimming a calm harbour against steep, verdant hills.

Typography anchors the composition: stylised Hong Kong, the call to FLY QANTAS, and “AUSTRALIA’S ROUND-THE-WORLD AIRLINE.”

A richer historical frame

Issued circa 1960 as Qantas expanded across Asia, posters like this married colour photography with modern type to sell the dream of effortless world travel—culture, sunshine and airline prestige in one persuasive image.
