EDITORS COMMENTS
This travel poster, designed by Joseph Binder for the New York World's Fair of 1939, showcases a bold and dynamic representation of "The World of Tomorrow." The Art Deco and Modernist design epitomizes the excitement and innovation of the era, with the iconic Trylon and Perisphere structures rising majestically over the silhouette of a New York City skyline. The cityscape is depicted with vibrant hues of blue, yellow, and red, as the silhouette of a train and ship add to the sense of progress and travel. Binder's design was awarded the first prize in the poster competition for the Fair in 1938, and was produced by Grinnell Litho in New York, USA. Measuring 30 1/2 x 20 inches, this poster is a testament to the modern and dynamic spirit of the 1930s. The strong colors, backed onto linen, have been expertly preserved, and the image remains as striking and evocative today as it was when first unveiled at the Fair. The Trylon and Perisphere structures were the centerpieces of the New York World's Fair, symbolizing the promise of a bright and technologically advanced future. The poster's design captures this vision, and serves as a visual reminder of the optimism and progress that characterized the 1939 World's Fair. This poster is a must-have for collectors of vintage travel posters, as well as those with an interest in American history and design.
