Fly TWA – San Francisco by David Klein, 1957

David Klein captured the glamour of the Jet Age in this vibrant 1957 travel poster for TWA. The iconic Golden Gate Bridge is reimagined as a bold, geometric framework of orange and red lines that stretch vertically across the composition, framing a stylized view of the city and bay below. Massive blue block letters spell out the destination against a sunny yellow background, while a tiny silhouette of a jet plane zooms past the logo, promising speed and adventure. This piece is a classic example of mid-century modern graphic design, helping to define the visual identity of commercial air travel in the 1950s.
