15 Beautiful Typographic Vintage Travel Posters

by Alan on April 11, 2010

I’ve compiled a group of  15 Beautiful Typographic Vintage Travel Posters below for your enjoyment and to add some graphic inspiration to your day.  I love the classic hand-painted and hand-drawn element these posters have along with the minimal copy.  The focus is on the travel destination, which is as it should be!

As always, feel free to add your own favorites from around the web in the comments section, or in our Wow It’s a Light Bulb Flickr Group!

Enjoy!

    I feel quite inspired to make a trip to Egypt. What a divine composition of rich leisure and sweet smells. I wonder how one would romanticize the Tempe area. Beer cans drawn in bright blue against orange-y looking fake tan skin? Haha. Not going to lie, the Germany one looks a bit intimidating–it reminds me of Metropolis a little bit. I think the Viking one is pretty awesome though.
