FRANK MACKINTOSH (DATES UNKNOWN) SAN FRANCISCO-HAWAII OVERNIGHT! / VIA PAN AMERICAN - TO THE ORIENT. Circa 1938.
26 3/4x38 1/4 inches.
Condition B: repaired tears in margins and image; abrasion in image; restoration and overpainting in margins.
Larger than life, the Honolulu Clipper is disgorging passengers all of whom are smiling at the warm island welcome they are receiving. Considered "one of the most coveted airline posters [this image] celebrates the arrival in Honolulu from San Francisco of Pan American's most advanced, largest and last flying boat, the Boeing 314. Faster, pressurized landplanes would soon make it obsolete, but the Boeing 314 briefly took transoceanic flying to a new level of luxury with its dining lounge, sleeping berths for everyone and aft honeymoon suite" (Airways p. 80). Although unsigned, the work is attributed to Frank Mackintosh, who designed a lot of menus and posters for the Matson Steamship Lines. Airways p. 80, Airlines p. 6.
