This delightful poster was issued by American Airlines to help promote Australia as a travel destination. A koala bear, an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia and long a worldwide symbol of The Land Downunder, clings to a Eucalyptus tree against a verdant background.   This poster isn’t dated but is one in a series issued by American Airlines in the late 1960s and early 1970s.   This the full-size 30” x 40” version of this poster which was also in a small quarter sheet version.    

This vintage original poster is lightly used and shows moderate handling wear including some bumping and small chips on the edges and a few short tears on the edges which have been stabilized with a couple small pieces of acid free archival tissue applied on verso.   The colors remain strong, the poster displays beautifully and overall condition is very good.
