TRAVEL POSTER - North America Qantas

“North America” — Qantas Airways
Vintage Travel Poster by Harry Rogers (c.1950)

Striking, theatrical, and unapologetically modern, this vivid Qantas poster captures the thrill of long-haul travel at the height of the jet age. Against a bold red field, a dynamic stylised figure leaps forward—part folklore, part modernist icon—symbolising energy, confidence, and the expanding horizons of post-war aviation. It’s a powerful statement from an era when Qantas was boldly connecting Australia with North America and the wider world.

Dynamic. Daring. Pure mid-century confidence.
