This vintage original travel poster was issued by Japan Air Lines to promote Bangkok, Thailand as a travel destination.   The poster features an image of two Thai women dancers performing in tradition garb over text that reads DISCOVER BANGKOK VIA JAPAN AIR LINES.  This poster isn’t dated but features a small drawing of a DC-7C airliner in the title.   The DC-7C entered service with Japan Air Lines in the late 1950s so we would date this poster to the late 1950s or early 1960s.   The lower left corner indicates this poster was printed in Japan by the Kyodo Printing Co., Ltd. 

This vintage original poster shows moderate handling wear including small pinhole tears to the tips of the upper two corners and lower right corner and two pinholes on the lower left corner.    The poster has a short tears of about one centimeter on the right edge and on the left edge just above the center but without loss of any paper.   The poster is free or tape or staining and displays nicely.  Overall condition is very good.
