Pan Am - Paris - Aaron Fine

This original 1960'S Pan American World Airways poster, titled “Paris”, was created by artist Aaron Fine. The artwork features a stylized depiction of a Parisian waiter and a uniformed doorman toasting with a glass of champagne, set against a backdrop of the city's iconic skyline. The bold colors and clean lines exemplify the mid-century modern aesthetic, reflecting the optimism and sophistication of the Jet Age.This poster was produced during a pivotal moment in aviation history. In 1958, Pan Am became the first commercial airline to offer transatlantic jet service, ushering in the Jet Age. With the introduction of Boeing 707 aircraft, the airline sought to revolutionize long-distance travel by offering faster, smoother, and more glamorous international flights.As Pan Am introduced its jet services, posters like this played a crucial role in promoting international travel. Fine's design not only advertises a destination but also encapsulates the allure of swift and stylish air travel, positioning the Caribbean as a must-visit locale for the modern traveler.​Aaron Fine was an American illustrator and designer active during the 1950s and 1960s. In addition to his work on travel posters for Pan Am, Fine was also a children's book illustrator and a playwright.
