This c.1962 poster issued by Olympic Airways of Greece features a stylized birds-eye’s view map of Europe, The Mediterranean and parts of the Middle East with the title “This is a View of Europe and the Middle East The Jet Set owns. You may lend it to you clients immediately by booking them on OLYMPIC AIRWAY’S Europe’s Jet Set”. This poster isn’t dated but was issued during the early 1960s heyday of the airline when it was controlled by shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis and know for lavish amenities including gold plated cutlery and a live piano player in First Class.
This unrestored poster was folded originally and has a few small scattered spots, toning from age, lightly bumped edges and moderate handling wear. Overall condition is very good.
