“Mexico” — Qantas Airways
Vintage Travel Poster by Harry Rogers (c.1950)
Bold, playful, and unmistakably mid-century, this striking Qantas poster presents Mexico through the confident lens of jet-age modernism. Against a soft lavender field, a stylised folkloric figure—rich with colour, texture, and movement—stands as a vibrant symbol of culture, celebration, and long-haul adventure. It captures a moment when flying with Qantas promised not just transport, but discovery on a global scale.
Graphic. Expressive. Pure jet-age optimism.
