Additional Information
Dating from approximately 1945, this captivating travel poster promotes Yosemite National Park as a premier destination accessible via United Air Lines. The scenic composition depicts a couple standing on a dramatic cliff overlooking the majestic Yosemite Falls while a United airliner glides through the skies above California's spectacular Sierra Nevada landscape.
Yosemite National Park had been established in 1890, building upon earlier protections granted by President Lincoln in 1864 that preserved the valley from commercial development. By the 1940s, the park attracted visitors from across the nation seeking its famous waterfalls, granite cliffs, and pristine wilderness experiences.
The postwar era witnessed an explosion in domestic air travel as Americans embraced commercial aviation for both business and leisure. Airlines competed vigorously for vacation travelers by commissioning striking promotional artwork that showcased America's most celebrated natural destinations and encouraged tourism through convenient air routes.
This remarkable poster stands as a testament to the golden age of airline travel marketing and America's enduring appreciation for its national parks. Its picturesque imagery offers a window into postwar tourism aspirations, making it an extraordinary addition to any collection celebrating vintage travel art.
