This is a vintage original and rare official poster issued by the Republic of Irak, Summer Resorts and Tourism Service.  This poster is attributed to Iraqi artist Hafidh al-Droubi and isn’t dated but was likely issued in the late 1950s or early 1960s when the country was ruled by nationalist leader Abdul-Karim Qasim.   This poster features English, French and German language text with the title IRAK The Land Of Gilded Domes And Minarets.   The lower edge is printed "Copyright And Colors By Vicky Baghdad" and the lower margin is printed “PRINTED IN SWITZERLAND ATAR GENEVA”.  

This vintage original unrestored poster shows moderate handling wear including some very slight lateral creasing and some bumping along the left edge.    The poster has a small area with some creasing and short tears on the left edge near the upper corner.  The poster has no tape but there are a couple slight small tape stains on the back of the poster.  Overall condition is very good.  Please see our other listings for more vintage Iraq travel posters.
