A striking original mid-century travel illustration rendered on artist’s illustration board, dated July 6, 1961. This evocative piece captures the glamour and optimism of early 1960s travel culture, featuring a stylishly dressed woman set against a European architectural backdrop, with bold graphic lettering reading “TRAVEL.”
Executed in a limited palette of teal, black, and soft neutrals, the composition reflects the clean lines and visual storytelling of mid-century commercial art and editorial illustration. The work appears to be a student or portfolio piece, retaining its original label on verso and period illustration board markings.
A compelling decorative piece with authentic Mad Men-era appeal—ideal for collectors of mid-century design, vintage advertising art, or fashion illustration.
