the land of the bible posters are AWESOME.
and i never use all caps, so you know i really mean it.

Oh! These are all so beautiful that I want to cry.

These posters were actually a great to be in a wall, Its all worthy to display making your viewer feel that they actually feels like traveling upon looking at it.

Vive numéro douze. Tres bloody brilliant!

I’d be much more inclined to travel nowadays if these posters were the advertisements.

How great is Poland?!

wow. those el al posters are amazing. definitely the best of the collection

Wish today’s posters were this attractive. I don’t think I can say I would’ve left them hanging on wall had I seen them around town

Hunting in Poland is so great. They’re all beautiful, but that one made me laugh.

That Finland poster is great! Love the fish!

If you’re interested in more travel and air and space related posters, check out the National Air and Space Museum’s online collection of posters. I got to intern at the museum to put the collection online and it was fantastic being able to see all of them in person!

I love these! I am an avid traveler as well as designer, and I love to see a combination of the two!

Argentina the hunter’s paradise!?

WTF!? That’s how the world see such a beautiful place like Argentina?

Well, for me, the world and the designers of this ‘collection’ can fuck yourself.
