This humorous Imperial Airways poster, designed by renowned graphic artist John Hassall, showcases the airline's commitment to its slogan, "Safety then Comfort," in an amusing way. The image depicts a scene on an Imperial Airways plane after landing, where an air steward is attempting to rouse a man from his deep slumber. The man, dressed in a trilby hat and holding an umbrella, remains oblivious to the fact that all other passengers have already disembarked. The steward, looking rather perplexed, holds onto the man's belongings, adding to the comedic effect of the situation. The poster, created in the 1930s, reflects the era's sense of humor and the comforts that Imperial Airways offered its passengers. The plane, with its propellers and elegant design, is a testament to the historical significance of aviation during that time. The use of warm colors and intricate details in the artwork further enhances the vintage feel of the piece. John Hassall was a prominent figure in British graphic design, known for his work on posters, advertisements, and book covers. His unique style and ability to capture the essence of a brand through his artwork made him a sought-after designer during the interwar period.
