About the Item
The Swissair – Japan travel poster from the 1960s reflects the evolving image of Japan during a period of rapid industrial growth and modernization, post-World War II. By the 1960s, Japan was establishing itself as a global industrial powerhouse, and Swissair, known for its premium services and expansive network, sought to attract travelers to this burgeoning destination.
This poster, with its aerial view of a bustling shipyard, highlights Japan's shipbuilding industry, which was one of the key sectors driving its economic miracle during this era. The industrial scene, showcasing cranes and workers over a massive ship under construction, captures Japan's technological advancements and efficiency.
The minimalist design typical of the 1960s, with "Japan" in bold orange lettering and the Swissair logo positioned prominently, reflects the sleek, modernist approach to advertising of that time. The choice of image conveys both the country's industrial might and its futuristic vision, appealing to business travelers and tourists fascinated by Japan's transformation into an economic leader.
Swissair's marketing strategy during the 1960s often paired strong visuals with clean typography to evoke a sense of professionalism, modernity, and global connection. This poster would have been displayed in international airports and travel hubs, promoting Japan as a must-visit destination for both business and leisure, in line with Swissair's premium brand image.

Original poster from 1920 For peace, subscribe to the industrial bank of China
Located in PARIS, FR
Beautiful historical poster from 1920. Borrowing for peace, subscribe to the industrial bank of China. Several national loans were issued during the economic history of modern France. These national loans take place in times of war when the public finances are in trouble, as well as in times of peace when it is necessary to launch certain projects and the public debt remains high. If the State lacked cash and taxes were no longer sufficient, a loan sometimes became necessary.
In order to encourage the population to subscribe massively to these loans, governments used propaganda, notably through posters that titillated the nationalist fibre.
