Qantas — Jetflight Around the World (c. 1960)
Electric blue, jet-age speed. This faithful reproduction of Qantas’ “Jetflight Around the World” poster celebrates the arrival of the Boeing 707—and with it a new promise to “cut travel time almost in half.” A crisply rendered airliner streaks across a stopwatch and charted seas, while a bold turquoise globe signals true round-the-world ambition. Mid-century design at its most confident.
Why it captivates
-
Jet-age revolution — the 707 era that shrank the map and redefined long-haul travel.
-
Graphic punch — high-contrast blues, whites, and Qantas red in a clean, modern layout.
-
Time & distance — stopwatch motif + world grid = speed made visible.
-
Collector pedigree — a classic of Australian airline advertising with global appeal.
What you’ll see
A silver-and-white Boeing 707 with a red cheatline and QANTAS tail flashes across a stylised stopwatch set over a nautical world chart. The headline “JETFLIGHT AROUND THE WORLD” spans the centre; a simplified turquoise globe anchors the composition; the bold QANTAS wordmark crowns the base.
