A large herd of ostriches march along as a small plane can be seen overhead. This exciting scene depicted by the poster brings a sense of exciting travel to South Africa by way of Scandinavian Airlines. This piece has been professionally mounted on canvas paper and measures 39"x 24." The bright and vibrate colors are attributed to Danish artist Otto Nielsen, his initials "ON" can be seen in the lower right corner. From 1954 -1976 Nielsen was commissioned to produced a series of beautiful travel posters for the Scandinavian Airlines System. His passion and expertise in watercolor is brilliantly portrayed by the use of the red and orange colors that surround the birds and the evening sky. By doing so he captures the speed of the birds movement as well as the desert beauty that awaits travelers in South Africa. The printer is identified as Axel Andreasen & Sønner. This piece is in fabulous near mint condition. HWAC# 63237 Date: Ca. 1953 Location:
