Description: Canadian Pacific Airlines/Couple
Artist : Anonymous The first known CPR poster was printed in 1883. Since then, thousands of brochures, posters, menus, advertisements and other items have been created to promote travel, immigration and settlement, war efforts, freight traffic and other services provided by the company. In early years, CPR sponsored artists - both well-known and emerging talent - by providing railway passes to take them to scenic locations along the line, and CPR had the option to purchase works produced from these trips. In later years, CPR commissioned artists and even employed full-time graphic artists in the company's studio in Montreal. This poster from the early 1960's shows how much the perception of travel has changed: note the attentiveness of the steward, the linen napkins, the elegance of the setting - these were all selling points that CP used to its advantage in his and other posters and marketing material from the period. This poster is mentioned and listed in Marc Choko's difinitive book on Canadian Pacific posters. $600 Poster measures 25 x 40 inches, is in excellent condition and is linen backed.
