To America — Fly Qantas (c. 1960)
Mid-century Manhattan in motion. This faithful reproduction of Qantas’ “to AMERICA — by Super Constellation” poster captures the optimism of early jet-age travel: Fifth Avenue bustling with chrome-bright cars, flags snapping in the breeze, and a sleek airliner sketched across the sky. A classic of airline advertising—bold, stylish, and irresistibly adventurous.
Why it captivates
-
Super Constellation era — celebrates the glamorous long-haul that linked Australia and the USA.
-
City romance — a lively Fifth Avenue vignette alive with taxis, buses, and neon atmosphere.
-
Confident typography — big headline, red QANTAS lozenge, and crisp layout.
-
Collector appeal — partnership credit to BOAC and TEAL anchors it in aviation history.
What you’ll see
A painterly street scene at 5th Ave & 42nd St: a green lamppost stacked with signs, mid-century sedans edging through traffic, a US mailbox, and American flags along the canyon of buildings. Above, a tiny aircraft line-drawn in profile; below, the iconic QANTAS wordmark in a red capsule.
