Acapulco, a popular beach resort town on the pacific coast of Mexico was made famous in the 50’s and 60’s by the jet set and is known now for its high-energy nightlife, beaches and golf and natural landscape. Artist Dong Kingman (1911-2000) captures just that in this vibrant Acapulco – American Airlines poster featuring many people enjoying the sun, sand and idyllic weather on the Acapulco beachside.

What People Are Saying...

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
